Calendar of Meetings
1972
Publication of a calendar of meetings which may interest those engaged in clinical or experimental research on the eye is a new departure for Experimental Eye Research. It is being undertaken as part of the co-ordinating activities of the newly formed International Committee for Eye Research. To make the calendar more complete it is hoped that Secretaries of Societies will send notices of meetings to Dr A. P&e, Nujield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Walton Street, Oxford OX1 6AW, U.K. Publication does not imply that these meetings are open to those who are not members of the Society concerned, although they may be so. 8-9 April
