Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to join us for the 26th Congress of the European Society and College of Veterinary Dermatology, which will take place in Valencia, Spain.
The congress will take place from 19 - 21 September 2013, so please Save the Date!
The Scientific Organizing Committee has selected a number of internationally recognized experts who will deliver state of the art lectures in both the Scientific and the Continuing Education Sessions. The congress will be held in the Valencia Conference Centre (www.palcongres-vlc.com), a unique space with historical and architectural vales and recognized as the best conference centre in the world in 2010!
The main themes of the Congress will be: skin barrier: from biology to allergic pathology in humans and animals, topical therapy: from pharmacology to antiallergic use, demodicosis, malassezia dermatitis, surgical treatment of chronic pododermatitis, immunomodulators in veterinary dermatology, autoimmune skin diseases and their mimickers and lasers in veterinary dermatology.
The Local Organizing Committee has selected one of the most beautiful city in Europe to welcome ESVD and ECVD, Valencia! Valencia is the third largest city in Spain, a city with more than 2.000 years of history with diverse cultures that have passed through its streets and which has integrated the old and new with great success. The construction of the Silk Exchange Market (Lonja de la Seda), is considered the jewel of Gothic architecture both for its architectural beauty and for its commercial relevance at the time. The building was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. Valencia is one of the Spanish cities with the greatest collection of modernist works. You will have the possibility to taste the most famous dish from the Spanish cuisine; Valencia is considered the birthplace of Paella. In Valencia you will find a friendly atmosphere where you will feel very welcome!
This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity for meeting colleagues from all over the world in a friendly atmosphere and sharing scientific and cultural experiences.
We look forward seeing you in Valencia!
