INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS 

 AND FACILITIES 



The Hubrccht Laboratory (International Embryological Institute) (for address see page 2 

 of this issue) 



Individual guest workers from all countries are welcome at the Laboratory. Partial 

 financial support is available in special cases only. 



Annual Progress Reports are available on request. They are in English and summarize 

 the current research of the staff and guest workers (both Dutch and foreign). 



Persons interested in receiving reprints of the Laboratory's publications may ask to be 

 placed on the Mailing List. They will receive a reprint check list at regular intervals. 



The Laboratory offers the following international facilities: 



a) The Central Embryological Collection, containing embryonic material of man, many 

 mammals, and all other vertebrate classes, some of it very rare. Recent additions are the 

 collection of the late J. P. Hill and that of H. Griineberg. Details will be supplied on 

 request. 



b) The Central Embryological Library, an extensive reprint collection covering the 

 entire field of developmental biology, with documentation and bibliographical services 

 attached to it. Details will be supplied on request. 



c) International Research Groups in Developmental Biology. Aim: to stimulate 

 research in developmental biology by introducing young scientists from different coun- 

 tries into the field and enabling them to engage in practical international co-operation. 

 Age limit 35, maximally 12 members. The eighth Research Group will probably be held 

 in the first six months of 1976. In that case, circulars will be widely distributed in the fall 

 of 1974, and will also be sent on request. 



International Society of Developmental Biologists (Developmental Biology Section of the 

 I.U.B.S.) 



The I.S.D.B. organizes an International Embryological Congress once every four years 

 (VIHth Congress to be held in 1977), as well as one or two regional Symposia every year. 

 Members receive a Developmental Biology Newsletter.
