Abstract
Some 40 scientists with background in the physical and biological sciences met from November 29 to December 1 in Bad Neuenahr, West Germany in order to discuss coherent excitations in biological systems and related topics. Field induced force effects, known as pondermotoric effects, and their biological manifestations were also considered. In addition several papers were offered on such topics as biological structure, metastable states in proteins, intracellular water, mm and sub-mm wave spectroscopy. Most of these papers are included in this volume. I shall therefore not attempt to summarize them, but rather limit myself to comment only on a few and draw some general conclusions. The presentations were limited to twelve papers. This and the effective chairmanship of Froehlich assured room for valuable disucssions and interactions.
