International Journal of Sauna Studies (IJSS) – meeting #1 minutes

Dear Sauna Friends. It has been two months since the wonderful Sauna Congress at Kukkolaforsen. As many of you know, the first Business Meeting of the International Journal of Sauna Studies (IJSS) was held on the final day of the Congress. It was a successful discussion, with representation from 9 countries. If all goes well, we will publish some papers from the Congress by early next year. We are also hoping to organise an IJSS research symposium in 2019, with the aim of developing standards for international sauna research. There is also a plan to create the International Sauna Research Network (ISRN), a free mailing list connecting international sauna people who are interested in sauna research. Warm regards, Jack Tsonis.
