INTRODUCTION
The aim of the
European Society of Contraception is to improve and facilitate knowledge and use
of contraception and reproductive health and to encourage relations between the
Society and appropriate organisations in Europe.
We look forward to seeing you at this exciting Congress to be held in
Edinburgh where the title of the 8th Congress of the European Society of
Contraception is to be ‘A holistic
approach to sexual health : Is it
needed, appropriate and possible?’
During the conference we wish to explore this ‘holistic’ concept from the
perspective of consumers, providers and services. To achieve this we will be
having Keynote addresses and State of the Art sessions from experts in their
fields. We will also use Workshops, Forums, Free Communication sessions (18
topics) and Meet the Experts sessions (6 per day) which we want to be informal
and interactive. In addition there will be ample space for Posters and prizes
for the best Poster & Free Communication.
A wide variety of issues related to contraception, sexual and reproductive
health will be explored and discussed. The enclosed Scientific programme gives
the range of subjects to be covered and the list of distinguished speakers who
have agreed to take part.
As the capital
of Scotland, Edinburgh has been a seat of learning since the Middle Ages, the city combines a unique
blend of heritage, colour and culture. There are the quaint corners and alleyways of the Old Town, the
Georgian splendour of Charlotte Square, the dominating presence of the castle;
all different, all essentially Edinburgh. You will feel at home in this friendly
city!
The Congress evening will be held in the magnificent Royal Museum. We look
forward to receiving your abstracts and to welcoming you to the Congress in June
2004.
