5th EAAD Congress

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Ladies and Gentlemen, Excellencies,

Euro-Asian Association of Dermatovenerologists (EAAD) is a society uniting dermatologists, venerologists and other specialists involved in dermatological health care from Europe, Asia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Caucasus, Central Asia, Israel, Middle East, Baltic countries and many other parts of the World. From 2011 EAAD has organized four highly successful congresses in Kiev, Moscow, Odessa and Jerusalem. Now we are looking forward to the 5th EAAD Congress in Riga, Latvia from September 18-20, 2015.

Latvia will be the presiding country of the European Union (EU) in the first half of 2015. Understanding the high political and professional responsibility of our delegates, we have selected the conference centre of the National Library of Latvia (NLL) as the congress venue. This brand-new, state-of-art building with a water-front view in the centre of Riga was designed by the famous Latvian-American architect Gunnar Birkerts and opened in 2014. NLL will serve as the central place of EU Presidency of Latvia.

Congress organizers are working hard to make a truly memorable scientific programme both for practical and academic professionals. We are expecting many prominent international and regional experts to share their experience. We are exceptionally proud for the participation of the Nobel Prize laureate Professor Harald zur Hausen and World Health Organization at the 5th EAAD Congress. We are sure that our industry partners will find it highly attractive to be part of the 5th EAAD.

In a divided world and despite wars, religious and culture differences - let us all be - UNITED FOR DERMATOLOGY!

Welcome to Riga!

• Professor Nikolay Potekajev, President of EAAD (Russia),
• Professor Andris Rubins,President -Elect of EAAD (Latvia),
• Professor Aleksandr Litus, Vice-President of EAAD (Ukraine),
• Professor Thomas Ruzicka, Vice-President of EAAD (Germany).
