1 · XI Congress ISE 2010 and I EHPE 11th Congress of the International Society for Ethnopharmacology (ISE 2010) Continuity and change in ethnopharmacology: Transdisciplinary science for our future. September 20 to 25th, 2010, Albacete, Spain Dear colleagues Welcome to the second circular with an update about the forthcoming 11th Congress of the ISE which will be held jointly with the first Spanish-Portuguese congress on ethnobiology (EHPE). It is written on my (MH’s) way back from a few very dense and stimulating days in Castilla-La Mancha and great progress has been made since the first circular. The team around Dr. Alonso Verde from Castilla La Mancha have worked tremendously hard to make this congress an exciting and successful event. In this 2nd circular we give you an update, and more information is continuously added to the webpage. So, make sure to visit www.ise2010.org regularly. There are a range of opportunities to present your work and we hope for lively discussions in front of the many posters which are planned and, of course to listen to and to discuss a wide range of invited and other lectures. We have decided to only have two parallel sessions, one more dedicated to ethnopharmacology (ISE - English only) and the second one to Spanish and Portuguese ethnobiology (EHPE - English, Portuguese and Spanish). Several symposia have now been confirmed and as we write these lines, one final one with a focus on medicinal plants from China is under development. We want to draw you attention to the young researchers’ workshop and the opportunity this offers for an informal and frank scientific discussion about what is happening in the field. A workshop by Prof. Rob Verpoorte, Editor-in Chief of the Journal of Ethnopharmacology will offer the opportunity to learn more on how to write and publish a world class research paper. In addition, at least five other editors from the Journal of Ethnopharmacology will be present at the congress. Most importantly, remember to submit you work and don’t do it too late. The deadline for all abstracts is 31.05.2010 and they have to be submitted via the web. A lot more could be written, but just take a look at this circular and remember that this congress also offers another highlight – the chance to degust the excellent Spanish cuisine and wine / beer or whatever you fancy. And to see a unique European landscape. Be prepared for some exotic encounters with this diverse and very locally based tradition. See you in September in Albacete, Castilla La Mancha PROF. DR.

Welcome to the second circular with an update about the forthcoming 11th Congress of the ISE which will be held jointly with the first Spanish-Portuguese congress on ethnobiology (EHPE). It is written on my (MH’s) way back from a few very dense and stimulating days in Castilla-La Mancha and great progress has been made since the first circular.
