Abstract
The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS) is holding the 44th Symposium on Life Information Science as a camp format meeting, with the main theme "Spirituality and Healing Science" on August 25-28, 2017 at "Otorisou", Izu Nagaoka Hot Spring, Izunokuni-City, Shizuoka, Japan. Twenty-two years of activities of the ISLIS and the promotion of "Human Potential Science" are reviewed since the Society's Foundation in 1995. ISLIS has sought and continues to seek the realization of 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, 44 Life Information Science Symposia have been held and issues of the International Society of Life Information Science (Journal of ISLIS) have been published regularly twice a year. ISLIS held the "International Conference on Human Potential Science International Forum" in Chiba, Japan in 2002, the "International Conference on Mind Body Science" in Seoul, Korea in 2004 and the "7th Psi Meeting" in Curitiba, Brazil in August 2011 co-sponsored with the Facludades Integradas 'Espirita'. ISLIS published the book Human Potential Science in 2004. ISLIS has a worldwide presence with 11 International Information Centers and about 230 members in 15 countries. The 45th Symposium will be held on March 10-11, 2018 at Ohmori Medical Center, Toho University, Tokyo, Japan.
