The ESGAR Events [Новость добавлена - 11.02.2009]

The annual meeting, the most important event of the Society, is held in a different European country each year. Although the Postgraduate Course covers a specific topic each year, all annual meetings are devoted to the main theme of "Abdominal Imaging and Intervention".

The meetings consist of invited educational lectures, workshops, scientific presentations and satellite symposia structured in conjunction with our industrial partners. They are organized by the Central ESGAR Office together with a local committee chaired by the meeting president. The scientific programme of the meetings is put together by the Programme Committee, a sub-committee of the Executive Committee.

In realising the objective of creating links between continents and other Societies the 1^st Joint Meeting with the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists (SGR) took place to general acclaim in Orlando in April 2002 and was followed by the 2^nd Joint Meeting in Crete, Greece in June 2006. After the political changes in Eastern Europe, the Society has been actively promoting exchanges across the old divide since its foundation. The first meeting in Eastern Europe took place in Budapest in 2003.

After the 2007 meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, the annual meeting and postgraduate course of 2008 was Istanbul, Turkey from June 10 - 13. The meeting venue for the 2009 meeting will be Valencia, Spain (June 23 - 26) and for 2010 the meeting venue will be Dresden, Germany (June 1 - 4). At the General Assembly in Istanbul the meetings venue for 2011 (Venice, Italy from May 21 - 24) and for 2012 (Edinburgh,UK from June 12 - 15) were confirmed
