<biogHist>
<abstract>The Boden Research Conferences were initiated by the Australian Academy of Science in 1979 supported by funding provided by Alexander Boden, with the first being held in 1981. Initially there were two consecutive meetings each year, held over two to three days in February at Thredbo in New South Wales. Each was in association with a sponsoring organisation. The first Conference was convened by Professor W. Burke and its theme was 'Mammalian vision'. There were 41 people in attendance. Later Conferences were held at other times during the year and in venues across Australia.</abstract>
<p>A list of full details of all Conferences 1981 to 2004 can be found in: Fenner, Frank (ed.) <span style="font-style:italic">The first fifty years</span> Canberra, Australian Academy of Science, 2005, pp. 483-5.</p>
