The 18th meeting of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM) was a joint meeting with the International Society for Inborn Errors of Metabolism, and was a sequel to their meeting in Tel Aviv in 1977. The SSIEM, founded in 1963 following a symposium entitled Neurometabolic disorders in childhood , exists to promote an exchange of ideas between professional workers in different disciplines who are interested in the biochemical basis of inherited diseases. One of the ways it pursues this aim is by arranging annual meetings on particular topics. In the past subjects have included: Biochemical approaches to mental handicap in children; Inborn errors of skin, hair and connective tissue; Organic acidurias; Carbohydrate metabolism; and more broadly based topics, such as Treatment and Medico‐social management. The Society also publishes a quarterly journal and has a membership of over 300, including members from overseas as well as the UK and Eire.
