WELCOME TO HELSINKI
The city of Helsinki and its local ESHRE members extend a warm welcome to all those who participate the 32nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.
Over the past 30 years, the ESHRE Annual Meeting has grown to become a truly international event representing more than 100 different nationalities and with an attendance of around 9000 delegates.
The scienti c committee has once again arranged a very interesting programme with invited sessions on different areas
of human reproductive research and medicine designed to meet the interests of all participants. Precongress Courses offer a wide range of topics and the scienti c and commercial exhibits will present the latest information in laboratory and clinical products.
In addition to the scienti c programme, we also hope that we can tempt you to discover the host city with its maritime appeal. Helsinki has almost 100 kilometres of shoreline, around 300 islands and many interesting maritime attractions. The streets, parks and shopping areas are vibrant with lively activities throughout the day and are sure to offer something to everyone’s liking. So please nd out what’s going on in the city during your visit.
We hope you will be attending a wonderful meeting and we are determined to make your stay a welcoming and exciting experience.
