Istanbul2005

Dear Colleagues
It is a great pleasure for me to invite you to the XXth EAU Congress from 16-19 March 2005 in Istanbul.
The EAU Congress is one of the most important events of our association and I am sure that it will be a great success for several reasons.
The first reason is a scientific one. The programme organised by the Scientific Committee is very attractive with many debates and lectures on the different fields of urology. All controversies will be managed in a friendly but professional and challenging way. You will also be updated about all new technologies and treatments which will assist you in daily practice.
The second reason is the exhibition. Many companies involved in urology will exhibit during the congress and here you can explore and interact with the company representatives in what promises to be a marvellous exhibition.
The third reason is an aesthetic one. Istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The collaboration with the Congress President, Professor Sedat Tellaloglu and the Turkish team has been very productive. A social programme has been arranged that will introduce you to all the delights that this wonderful city has to offer. I personally spent my last holidays in Istanbul and Turkey and can assure you that this country has to be seen!
