Great success for ESVV2015 – EPIZONE!

More than 400 persons from 49 countries attended this international congress, held in Montpellier from 31 August to 3 September.

293 abstracts were submitted from which 9 keynotes lectures, 111 oral presentations and 157 poster exhibitions were accepted.
Ten travel grants and four poster awards were offered to young scientists.

The programme and organization have promoted excellent scientific exchanges in a good atmosphere. The gala dinner was also a great moment.

ESVV and EPIZONE also did their general assembly and executive committees. A new ESVV board was elected: Emmanuel Albina (President), Marisa Arias (Secretary), Hans Nauwynck (Tresurer), Thomas Mettenleiter, Norbert Nowotny and Tamas Petrovic.

The next ESVV meeting will be held in Vienna in 2018 and should be again combined with an annual EPIZONE meeting.
