The Physiological Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Physiological Society [1] is a learned society with approximately 2,500 members drawn from over 50 countries. The majority of members are engaged in research, in universities or industry, into how the body works. The Society's main aims are to promote the advancement of physiology and to facilitate communication, both between scientists and with other stakeholders. To achieve these objectives, the Society supports 4-5 meetings annually, publishes two journals and awards grants to allow members to travel and collaborate. Interaction with outside bodies is encouraged through representation on various councils and committees, and active membership of the Biosciences Federation [2] and the Federation of European Physiological Societies [3].
