Fourteen years after the Hungarian joint meeting of the International Society of Biorheology (ISB) and the International Society of Clinical Hemorheology (ISCH), we are pleased to announce that the 17th Conference of the European Society for Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation (ESCHM) is also going to be held in Pécs, Hungary in 2013. As Pécs has the pleasure of hosting international experts of Rheology for the second time, the Organizing Committee hopes to welcome even more participants at the ESCHM congress than during the joint meeting of 1999.
Since 1999 Pécs’s welcoming atmosphere has not changed much, although many of its buildings and streets had been renovated. In 2010 it was awarded the title “European Capital of Culture” which further strengthened its position and importance both as a cultural and as a scientific center. Several international conferences of different disciplines have been held in Pécs recently, therefore we are honored to be the hosts of the ESCHM conference in 2013.
The 17th Conference of the European Society for Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation (ESCHM) is going to be held on July 6–9, 2013 in Pécs, Hungary. We hope that it will be the platform of fruitful discussions for the international community of rheologists, where keynote speeches of outstanding scholars will encourage and inspire the participants to present their findings, introduce their latest developments and share their views during the different symposia.
We are convinced that Pécs’s atmosphere will provide a pleasant background for an intensive exchange of views and opinions of distinguished scientists of hemorheology coming from Europe and from different countries all over the world. We would appreciate your active participation in this conference and look forward to welcoming you in Pécs in 2013.
