Today we continue our tour through the archives of ICE, going back to 1976 – 1992.

ICE 1976, Germany: The Congress took place at the Congress Centrum of Hamburg with Plenary Lecture from H. G. Friesen - "Human Prolactin Receptors and Placental Lactogens" and J. Gorski - "Steroid Hormone Reaction".

ICE 1980, Australia: Over 2000 participants from 41 countries around the world gathered for Australia’s first International Endocrinology Congress.

ICE 1984, Canada: In collaboration with the Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism, this was the largest ICE meeting so far where over 2781 abstracts were presented in addition to 200 symposia, 10 plenary lectures and 20 meet-the-professor sessions.

ICE 1988, Japan: "This Congress provides an invaluable wealth of information on the latest findings and results of endocrinological research, in this way helping to maintain the public health and promoting welfare" - Jiro Kondo, President, Science Council of Japan.

ICE 1992, Nice, France: "Three decades after the first International Congress of Endocrinology, endocrinology still appears as an exponentially expanding field of biological and health sciences having meanwhile altogether incorporated the major conceptual and technical breakthroughs in molecular biology and immunology, and extended the concepts of basic mechanisms of hormone production and action to all fields of intercellular communication" - Rene Mornex.
