" The 6th international Bio- semiotics Congress at St. Virgil close to Salzburg was until now the best organised ever in the unanimous opinion of all 58 participants from 22 nations. Both scenic attractions and architectural ambience, catering and accommodation, and also in particular the organisational support and assistance as well as the technical equipment and the conference premises which formed an unobtrusive and highly efficient foundation for a smooth operational process during the conference. I thank you in the name of the conference members and the organisation committee for the highly professional efficiency."
