Welcome
It
is a great pleasure and honour for Paediatric Cardiology in Austria
welcoming you to the 44th Annual Meeting of the Association of
European Paediatric Cardiology in Innsbruck.
Being a small country in the middle of Europe we are very proud giving the
opportunity to connect Europe’s East and West.
The
scientific programme follows the general themes “Quality of life - ethical
issues – intercultural aspects”. You will find those addressed within
the Joint sessions, key note lectures and Working Group sessions.
The oral abstract sessions as well as the Poster presentations will give a
representative overview of the latest innovations and results accomplished
by the international scientific community. Presenters and participants come
from all over the world and will create a dynamic and exhilarating
atmosphere for discussion, networking and socialising.
We are very happy to have for the first time representatives of the Japanese
Society of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery as Guest faculty with
us, enriching the programme with their contributions!
The
Update course by the WG Dysrhythmia and Electrophysiology and the Hands-on
session by the WG Morphology cover the
educational part of the programme.
The programme gives also room for all specialists, including Nurses, we are
working with to show the role Paediatric Cardiology has
to play in managing our patients throughout the life cycle.
Innsbruck, the wonderful place in the Alps is not only a very scenic but cultural and historical site too. As host of two Olympic Winter Games Innsbruck has experience in hosting international conferences and with all the facilities we hope to meet AEPC’s and your personal needs and standards making this a memorable Annual Meeting.
