invitation to the conference
Dear Colleagues and Friends, On behalf of the board of the European Society of Human Genetics, I would like to cordially invite you to attend the European Human Genetics Conference 2017, from May 27-30, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The ESHG 2017 marks the 50th Anniversary of the first ESHG Conference which took place in Copenhagen in 1967. In commemoration of this event, we have chosen the Bella Center in Denmark’s capital as the venue for our next meeting. Denmark is not only renowned for the Little Mermaid, Hans Christian Andersen and Niels Bohr, but also for Danish Design and the “New Nordic Cuisine”. Landing at Copenhagen airport, you will have a wonderful view of “The Bridge” connecting Denmark and Sweden. Copenhagen is one of the most vivid cities in northern Europe, although it is also referred to as Northern Europe’s cosiest capital; a city full of street cafés, design shops and some of the best restaurants in Scandinavia. From the winding streets of the beautiful old town and the grand royal palaces to the city’s cutting-edge buildings and attractions, Copenhagen is a great mix of the old and the new world. Copenhagen is also known for being an international hub for science. It is number one in Europe in terms of clinical trials per capita and number two in the world for developing biotechnology. In fact, COBIS, the Copenhagen Bio Science Park, was named the world’s best biotech incubator in 2011. Furthermore, the newly built Copenhagen Science City with its Niels Bohr Building are significant investments of the Danish government to enhance science and to attract the world’s best scientists. The combination of history, culture and science led us to choose Copenhagen as the best place to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Among other highlights, the ESHG 2017 conference will provide the latest findings in the field of basic and applied human genetics. Thanks to the excellent programme committee selecting the best speakers and outstanding presentations, we are looking forward to a highly inspirational meeting which should not be missed. See you in Copenhagen in 2017! Olaf Riess, MDPresidentEuropean Society of Human Genetics
