VIII INTECOLInternational Congress of Ecology

August 11~18, 2002 COEX, Seoul, Korea

3

With the start of a new century, it is very meaningful for us to host VIII

International Congress of Ecology in Seoul, Korea, during 11-18 August

2002. The main theme of this congress is “Ecology in a Changing World.”

As the country wired in arguably the best internet system in the world,

we are preparing one of the most high-tech equipped congresses in the

history of INTECOL.

Seoul is located within one of the world’s most dynamic and intellectual

cultures. With many world-renowned speakers and delegates from all over

the world, VIII International Congress of Ecology will provide you with

valuable opportunities to enhance your career as well as chances to

exchange new ideas and valuable insights. At this congress more than

2,000 papers in various ecological areas will be presented by researchers,

administrators, industrial managers and other ecology-related personnel.

We have arranged a variety of exciting and entertaining social gatherings

and tour programs, which, we believe, will make your stay more enjoyable

and fruitful. The congress will also provide excellent opportunities to

experience Korean culture as well as to witness ecological studies and hot

spots in Korea. Please do not miss the chance to feel and see everything this

congress can offer. I look forward to seeing you all in Seoul in August 2002.

Welcome Message

4

At the beginning of the 21st Century ecological issues have never been more

important, both at a global scale and at a national level. The international congresses

of ecology provide important fora to learn more about these issues, to discuss recent

advances in ecological science, and to highlight deficiencies in our knowledge which

we urgently need to address.

The VIII Congress in Seoul, South Korea provides an important opportunity for

ecologists to continue the advancement of our science, and to learn at first hand of

the many pressing problems that we need to address. On behalf of the Board of

INTECOL, I urge as many of you as possible to attend this congress and to contribute

to its success. Those of us like me, who have been fortunate enough to enjoy the

hospitality of the Ecological Society of Korea in the past, know that we can look

forward to a well organised congress full of good science and most rewarding and

enjoyable excursions and social events. I am looking forward to the Congress a great

deal, and I hope to see many of you in Seoul supporting our Korean colleagues,

continuing the advancement of our most important science, renewing old friendships

and making many new ones.
