This symposium is the 11th time that scientists sharing common interest in this peptide family come together and discuss their research. The main goal of the symposium is to discuss most recent fi ndings on different functional, structural and genomic aspects of the VIP, PACAP family of peptides.

The symposium will be held in Pecs, a multicultural city of Central Europe. The host institution is the University of Pecs, the conference venue is the recently inaugurated Janos Szentagothai Research Center.
