8th EHPBA Congress
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure and honor for us that the European Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association has chosen Athens, Greece to host the next 8th EHPBA Congress on June 18-20, 2009.
On behalf of the EHPBA we would like to invite you all interested in HPB diseases to join us in this very important event and we can assure that we will try hard, working together with the scientific committee of our association, to provide you with a comprehensive, high quality and pdated program. We will have also the opportunity to get together with the top HPB colleagues and to exchange our knowledge as well as to work on ideas in improving our science and most important our patients care.The success of the meeting will be secured by the close cooperation with the International HPB Association, which is the umbrella society of all the Region's associations.
Accepted abstracts will be published and papers may be submitted for publication in EHPBA, journal, HPB which is now listed in MEDLINE. Accepted abstracts will be evaluated and awards will be provided to the best scientific works.
It is needless to say something more from what you have already know about Athens cultural and intellectual heritage. Because of the preparations for the Olympic Games in 2004, the city has been transformed, and those of you who have not visited Athens since will discover a very different environment.
We will arrange all social activities around the historical center so you will have the opportunity to discover or re-discover not only Greek but also the European roots. We hope that you will enjoy both a highly interesting scientific meeting and your stay in our city.
