4th WC
Tokyo 1987
Dr. Ryan had received a majority of letters supporting a 5 year schedule.
It was accepted, however, that it would be reasonable to retain flexibility
and include a four year term to avoid clashing with European Society meetings
except when Congresses are held in Europe.
The European Society
requested that the meeting should be held in 1991 four years from now, rather
than 1992 in order to avoid clashing with the European Society meeting in
1992. Dr. Harris said that he was agreeable to this but would be circulating
a questionnaire concerning a number of matters related to the Congress,
including the dates. It was further agreed that the 6th World Congress would
be held in Europe in association with the
European Society Meeting in 1996. The European Society were unanimous in
proposing West Germany.
The meeting was held in Munich
in 1996.
5th WC Louisville 1991
Mike Perry tabled a proposal that Sydney
should host the World Congress in the year 2001.
The meeting was held in Sydney
in 2001.
6th WC Munich 1996
Professor Lewis reviewed the history of the World Congresses and reminded the
Committee that in 1991, in Louisville,
it had been determined to hold World Congresses at a five-yearly interval,
altemating between an American meeting, a European meeting and an
Asian/Australian meeting. The decision to hold the meeting in the year 2001,
in Sydney, had been confirmed prior to the Munich meeting. The next
projected meeting in 2006 would therefore be in the Americas.
ESM Congress, Paris 1998
Proposal to hold the World Congress in Washington/DC in 2005.
Professor Lewis informed the Committee that a proposal had been developed to
hold the World Congress after Sydney
in Washington/DC in the year 2005.
Due to timing and organisational conditions, the meeting is held in
Milwaukee/Wisconsin in 2007.
7th WC Sydney 2001
The Community then considered presentations by Professor Eric Vicaut on
behalf of the French Microcirculation Society and Eli Keshet representing
Professor Saul Yedgar on behalf of the Israeli Microcirculation Society to
host the 9th World Congress.
The conference is scheduled for Paris
in 2010.
ESM Congress,
Amsterdam 2006
It was also agreed that the term of chairpersons should cover two World
Conferences for Microcirculation. Thus, the next election of a chairperson should
be planned for the meeting of the International Liaison Committee for
Microcirculation at the 9th World Conference for Microcirculation in Paris in 2010. The
decision about location and organization of the 10th World Conference for
Microcirculation should be taken at the occasion of the 8th World Conference
for Microcirculation in Milwaukee
in 2007. This conference should be organized in the year 2015 if held outside
Europe and in the year 2014 if held within Europe.
According to the usual "rhythm" of world congresses, the
Asian-Pacific region would be the obvious candidate to host the 10th WCM 2015
after having had world congresses in the USA
and in Europe.
To sum up in the words of
our previous Treasurer:
- The scheme is America's, Europe and Australasia
with a five, 4 and five year interval.
- By default, the world
congress meetings in the America's
and Australasia will be in odd years
whereas the European meetings are in even years.
- Only in case of an alteration
of the order, a change should be adopted.
