Abstract
The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS) is to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Founding in autumn 2005. ISLIS seeks to realize the paradigm shift from material-oriented science and technology to a new paradigm including the consciousness, spirit and mind through research based on empirical and positive scientific methodologies, and consequently, to promote the development of health, social welfare, and education as well as social and personal peace of mind, and to contribute to the making of a peaceful world, at one with nature. Since the foundation of ISLIS in 1995, 20 symposia have been held and 20 issues of the Journal of ISLIS have been published periodically. ISLIS held the "Human Potential Science International Forum" in Chiba, Japan in 2002 and the "International Conference on Mind Body Science" in Seoul, Korea in 2004. It published the book "Human Potential Science" in 2004. There are ISLIS Information Centers in 8 countries and there are about 230 ISLIS members in 10 countries. The ISLIS Office moved to the International Research Institute (IRI), Chiba, Japan in April 2005. ISLIS has started the 10th Anniversary Campaign to increase its membership; this is critical for the Society to have an important role in Human Potential Science in the 21st century. The budget status of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is reported.
