title: The role of ISHAM: how developing and developed countries can benefit from it. International Society for Human and Animal Mycology.
abstract: The international community of mycologists, ISHAM, is faced increasingly with the needs and demands of supporting the development of organizational structures worldwide in the field of medical mycology. This goes beyond the classical objectives of a scientific association, namely organizing international congresses and publishing a journal. In the early part of the next century, this will become a major challenge to ISHAM. Symposia discussing this subject were presented at the 12th Congress of ISHAM held in Adelaide, Australia, in 1994. This paper outlines the reflections and discussions held by members of our Society in 1997.
