We are delighted to provide you with preliminary details of the 15th European Congress of Endocrinology which will take place in the cosmopolitan and historic city of Copenhagen. It is a very great pleasure to be hosting this prestigious meeting which we hope will enable us to discuss the latest advances in endocrinology and will also provide an opportunity for participants to meet and network with colleagues from across the globe. Our programme this year promises to be challenging and stimulating as we consider key topics of interest and concern. Lectures and workshops will be presented by a group of distinguished international speakers who will cover a range of topical and relevant issues which affect us all from the laboratory to the clinic. We hope you will join us in Copenhagen for what promises to be a vibrant and significant congress.
