FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
..- Welcome Address
Dear Colleague,
The beautiful city of Belgrade will host the 27th European Congress of Pathology in 2015. Pathology undergoes many important
changes from within and outside. By novel techniques we get better understanding of disease enabling us to make better diagnosis.
Geneticists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, information
technologists all have increasingly tools and knowledge that improves our work. The theme for the 2015 ECP congress, Pathology, breaking barriers in medicine is therefore very timely: we as
pathologists have many interactions with other disciplines and our
developments have influences on medical decision in everyday
practice.
it is not easy to keep up with everything that is ongoing, but the
ECPs try to serve the educational need for pathologists. But not
only that. The European Society of Pathology feels strongly about
the role of science in the develop.rnents that steer our practice.
Therefore, the educational needs are always integrated in the scientific progress. A good diagnosis is based on the understanding
of the processes we see through our microscope (or, increasingly,
on our screen!).
The congress will have the organ-based session as programmed
by our working groups, the special session on teaching, quality
assessment and public awareness, and of course the key-note lectures enlighten us on developments outside pathology, but influencing us very much. No other meeting for pathologists has such
a broad scope and at the same is so focussed on what we do, in
academia and in general pathology laboratories.
Belgrade is a city with a long, often turbulent history and has the
last years seen rapid developments. lt is therefore a good place to
feel the old and the new, and, like in pathology, we need to cherish
them both!

City of Belgrade
Welcome to Belgrade, a city that has been a meeting point for different ci vilization s over the centuries. lt is a uniqu e riparian metropolis with its numerous floating restaurants and discotheques,
docked alongside 220 km of river banks. Enjoy this river based
lifesty le at the confluence of two great rivers: the Danube and the
Sava . The new indu stria l heritage site is the latest hotspot to be
experienced.
From the buzz of its streets and busy cafes to the peaceful oasis of
th e royal courts just minutes away, you can acquire a taste of Belgrade's cosmopolitan lifestyle. Relax after your day at the congress in one of the numerous cafes downtown. Ensure you visit
one of the taverns in the XIX century Boh em ian Quarter for a live
performance of a tambourine orchestra accompanied by traditional food and a barbecue.
The Lonely Planet Guide recently referred to Belgrade's nightlife
as "One of Europe's 10 hot spots" and the Sunday Times has declared Belgrade "A new capital of cool". Th e fusion of cu ltures is
best expressed by the traditional organic cuisine of Serbian "Soulfood" which is exceptionally tasty.
Located just minutes away from the major hotels and the city centre, Lake Ada is another oasis in Belgrade; a lake island located on
the river with a forest and 8 kilometres of beach, it is a perfect
place to escape from the intensity of the congress and the hustle
and bustle of the city. From golf to water skiing, from the natural
environment to its relaxing cafe culture and hidden restaurants,
you will want to linger in Belgrade.
