The next combined ESID/IPOPI/INGID Meeting will take place from October 6-9 2010 in Istanbul.
Florence has just been elected to host the congress in 2012. Congratulations to Florence!
We had received 3 applications to host the ESID/IPOPI/INGID Biennial Meeting 2012. The candidates presented the possible venues and cities during the General Assembly on October, 17th. We have voted for the venue cojointly with the members of INGID and IPOPI as decided at the General Assembly. The two cities which received the most votes in the first ballot were London (104) and Florence (92), whereas Prague received 53 votes. The second ballot between Florence and London resulted in a narrow margin for Florence (160 vs. 144 votes).
Thus the 2012 ESID/IPOPI/INGID Biennial Meeting will be in Florence!
