2006 ESAO meeting in Umea, Sweden
29 December 2005 - 22:28 Filed in: Meetings
The 2006 meeting of the European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) will be held in Umea, which is located in the northern part of Sweden, from 21-24 June. At that time, the country celebrates the longest day, a day with 24 hours daylight.
The program is adapted to this biorhytm phenomenon and will start early in the morning (07.30) and will end each day at 16.00 hours. Professor Stegmayr organized various social and sports events that will start after the scientific sessions, to stimulate young researchers to contact with each other and with the experts in the field. Due to the fact that the 2006 congress takes place rather early in the congress season, the deadline for submission of abstracts will be in February 2006. Detailed information will be provided to you in the Second Announcement, that will be mailed to you within a few weeks. For more information please visit the official webpage.
Umea is a very nice city and can be reached be plane from Stockholm easily. The city is the fasted growing town of Sweden. It has approximately 100,000 inhibitants and 30,000 students. Because many members will combine this congress with a short vacation, Professor Stegmayr has organized an unique post congress trip to the Northcape.
