Dear colleagues, Dear friends, On behalf of the Austrian Biophysical Society (Biophysics Austria) and the European Biophysical Societies Association (EBSA), I should like to extend a warm welcome to all of you at the 13th EBSA meeting in beautiful Vienna. EBSA2021 is one of the first scientific meetings to be held on-site after the lengthy period of virtual congresses. During the global COVID-19 pandemic, we all became acutely aware of how much we miss the excitement of catching up with colleagues and friends, of motivating discussions, of arranging new cooperations, of being exposed to new ideas and different perspectives and, not least, of discovering new cultures, cities and countries – everything that the meeting in Vienna offers us. For the first time in the history of biophysical congresses, the 13th EBSA meeting will take place in hybrid form, both on-site and online, allowing every interested biophysicist worldwide – independent of the travel situation – to join and contribute to this event. This combination will open up a new era in congress organization and we are confident that it will become the main modus for future congresses. The 2021 meeting is unique in many ways. In 2021, the Austrian Biophysical Society celebrates its 60th birthday. Austria has a long-standing tradition in biophysics. Biophysics Austria was founded in 1961 and is among the oldest biophysical societies in Europe. In 1971, 50 years ago, with the“collaboration of sister societies and under the co-sponsorship of the International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB)” Biophysics Austria hosted the first European Biophysics Meeting in Biophysics in Baden near Vienna. The opening lecture was given by Max F. Perutz, who won the 1962 Nobel Prize for his work on the structures of haemoglobin and myoglobin. The diverse program of the first congress included 19 symposia that covered among others, Biophysics of Transport Processes, Reg- ulation of Virus Protein Synthesis, The Cardiac Electric Field, Water in the Function of Biological Systems, Bioenergetics, Radiation, and Environmental Biophysics, and Origin of Life. Many of these topics are still acutely relevant today. 123 S6 European Biophysics Journal (2021) 50 (Suppl 1):S1–S226 Unfortunately, 26 years elapsed before the second congress has taken place in Orl´eans, France (1997). Since 2003 the EBSA Congress is a biennial event and has developed into one of the two most essential biophysicist gatherings in the world. This years’ congress will feature 90 invited speakers, who will share their latest exciting discoveries. There will be more than 90 slots reserved for junior researchers to present their results in short talks. EBSA2021 also features cross-disciplinary plenary lectures to foster discussions at the frontiers of current biophysical research, including single-molecule biophysics; high resolution optical and force microscopy; ion channels and transporters; lipids and membranes; structural biology; theoretical biophysics; cell mechanics and many other subjects. Basic research has paved the way for the successful fight against the current pandemic, specifically for the development of mRNA vaccines (such as those from Biontech Pfizer and Moderna). The battle against Covid-19 will also be a major topic at the EBSA 2021 Congress. At the time of writing this welcome, participants from 39 countries have submitted 563 abstracts. Session chairs, members of the scientific committee, and the EBSA Executive Committee members have performed excellent work in assembling the scientific program and EBSA member societies have contributed by suggesting speakers. For the first time, a public lecture open to all interested in science will start the congress. Nobel laureate Ada Yonath will honour the contribution of Erwin Schr¨odinger to life sci- ences by outlining her view on the age-old question of “What is life?”. Her talk is partic- ularly apt as Schr¨odinger’s book of the same title also addressed the lay reader. In 2021 we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Austrian physicist and Nobel Prize winner Erwin Schr¨odinger. EBSA is continuing the collaboration with the sister societies that started 60 years ago. Austrian Physics Society is sponsoring Ada Yonath’s lecture, while the Biophysical Society of America and the IUPAB are supporting the lectures of Karolin Luger and Francisco Bezanilla. The Biophysical Society of America will also present twelve awards of US $500. We are grateful to all plenary and invited speakers who have volunteered to travel to Vienna despite the pandemics-mediated uncertainties caused by the pandemic during the months leading up the meeting. We are looking forward to their brilliant talks and their equally important, encouraging contributions to the discussion of short talks and posters. EBSA is awarding bursaries to facilitate the participation of 60 talented young colleagues and Biophysics Austria is providing prizes for the best three virtual posters. Many devoted scientists have contributed to the preparation of the event. We have received substantial input from the session chairs, from the editor of the European Biophysics Journal, Rob Gilbert, and from members of EBSA’s executive committee. Special thanks 123 European Biophysics Journal (2021) 50 (Suppl 1):S1–S226 S7 go to Anthony Watts, Jes´us P´erez-Gil, John Seddon, Tony Wilkinson, Andr´e Matagne and Eric´ Quiniou. We also thank the professional congress organizers from RAM/Columbus, headed by Re- nate Androsch-Holzer, and acknowledge the continuing support of the Vienna Convention Office and the Austria Center Vienna.

    London Metropolitan University: Centre for Progressive Leadership White Paper: Managing Leadership from a Systemic Perspective ISSUED JANUARY 2013 LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL A CPL WHITE PAPER Managing Leadership from a Systemic Perspective Dr William Tate ABSTRACT How can an organisation best understand, expand, release, promote, improve, combine and apply leadership capability suited to its needs? The traditional model of individual leadership behaviour and development is no longer in tune with latest knowledge of the dynamics entailed in leadership performance in today’s complex environment. Development tools drawn from psychology insufficiently address the realities of organisational life. Understanding of the new sciences and the study of systems, combined with progressive 21stC social values, demand that a new perspective of leadership be taken, reflecting the holistic context in which leadership processes are now required to operate. This paper presents a systemic view of leadership, where the leadership role is one factor in an intricate system of interacting elements that affect how leadership is best applied in organisation settings and how it can be improved. The model challenges conventional approaches to the definition, specification and codification of leadership, as well as the way leadership is studied, how it is assessed and developed. Implications for various academic disciplines are considered, and a range of HR processes are discussed, including leadership development, accountability, coaching and performance management. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS PAPER ARE THOSE OF THE AUTHOR AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT THOSE OF LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL OR THE CENTRE FOR PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP. © William Tate, The Institute for Systemic Leadership, 09 January 2013 1 London Metropolitan University: Centre for Progressive Leadership White Paper: Managing Leadership from a Systemic Perspective 1.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

Vladimir P. Suslov, DE: Under-Secretary for Political and Security Council Affairs SUBJECT: Disarmament Affairs I have always felt that it is very desirable to bring a greater degree of clarity into the sphere of responsibility within the Secretariat with regard to the all important field of disarmament, and perhaps there is now an opportunity to do away with the rather artificial division of responsibilities in disarmament affairs that has existed for some time. The Department of PSCA has always borne exclusive responsibility for all the work on disarmament and related fields. The Disarmament Affairs Group in this Department has attended to both the substantive and servicing functions connected with the problem. In particular, officers from the Department have been responsible for servicing the ENDC meetings in Geneva. In the circumstances stated above and in thelight of the experience during the past three years, it would seem that there is really no need to have a very senior officer of the rank of Under-Secretary present constantly in Geneva or, indeed, to have such an officer dealing with the problem in New York.
