Dear Colleagues
We are delighted to invite you to ESCP’s 10th Scientific and Annual meeting in the vibrant and fun city of Dublin. It is difficult to believe that we have reached our 10th meeting since ESCP was formed at the end of 2005; a great deal has been accomplished, and of course, there is always more to do!
Dublin is not only fun, it’s easy to get to and a manageable size to get around, with good hotels, restaurants, and of course, those famous Irish pubs where friendship and hospitality abound. We will enjoy the superb state-of-the-art facilities at CCD (Convention Centre Dublin) which opened in 2010.
ESCP continues on its exciting, challenging and ambitious road to becoming a Society of stature across Europe and beyond. We are very pleased that in Dublin, for the first time, we will hold two joint sessions with Associations that we are now forging strong links with - ECCO and EAES. This is an exciting development, and not by any means the only initiatives being discussed.
The meeting has become renowned for the quality of its programme, yet we also find ourselves challenged each year to fit as much in as we would wish. Therefore, for the first time in Dublin, some symposia will be in parallel, enabling us to bring more diversity to the programme whilst maintaining educational workshops again for younger surgeons (the programme for this will be developed after the 2014 meeting).
Full details will be available on the website from the beginning of 2015; we do hope that you will put the Dublin dates into your diary, and look forward to welcoming you next September.
With best wishes
Yury Shelygin
ESCP President 2014-15
