13th ESPD Congress 2016

Dear colleagues, dear friends,

Welcome to Paris!

It is a great pleasure and honour for all members of the French Society of Paediatric Dermatology to welcome you for the 13th Congress of the European Society for Pediatric Dermatology (ESPD), which will be held May 26 to 28, 2016.

The organization of this conference is a great challenge that we are going to conduct in close collaboration with our colleagues involved in the so exciting field of the paediatric dermatology.

Our wish, for this conference, is to offer a scientific program covering all topics of our specialty, at the highest level. All day, from 8:00 to 6:00 p.m., many enthusiastic and highly qualified specialists will propose to share with you their experience and knowledge. We especially hope that the Congress will be a true moment of encounter and exchange between dermatologists, paediatricians, researchers and paramedics involved so deeply to give the best to our young patients and their families.

The scientific program will highlight all the basic and clinical research advances in paediatric dermatology, keeping foremost in mind their practical usefulness for patients and their families. A time for reflection will be organized to try to reinforce European networks in different areas.

Our specialty is extremely rich, diverse and stimulating. It is this wealth that we want to live in this conference and, with at the same time, many, human, multi-cultural encounters.

"Let those who want to turn their backs on the world! I can understand only in human terms*

The conference takes place at the «House of Mutuality» in the centre of old Paris!

Social programs will be designed to allow discovery of all that is the soul of Paris: its monuments, museums, history, music, beautiful places and «petits cafés».

We will all be available to help you make the right choices and to enjoy Paris in this so good time of year in our capital.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in May 2016 to the 13th ESPD Congress!

With best Wishes

Christine Bodemer

Congress President
