Dear Colleagues,

With E-AHPBA 2019 Congress now only one month away we felt it timely to update you on the programme development and highlights you can expect.

We received some 800 abstracts – a great number! – which were reviewed and scored by 47 reviewers. First of all, we would like to thank these reviewers for all the efforts and work put in, and for contributing to what should be a good quality congress.

Representatives of the Local Organising Committee and the National Scientific Committee then came together to compile the programme of the free papers. The outcome is that 28% of the abstracts have been accepted as oral presentations and 68.5% of the abstracts have been accepted as poster presentations. Poster acceptances should now have been received, information regarding poster instructions should follow in due course.

Over and above this we expect some 30 video presentations at the congress.

Although still a work in progress, which we hope to publish on the web site as soon as all details have been completed, the congress programme promises to be of high quality, interesting, diverse and enjoyable. So, please do not hesitate to attend this unique opportunity to combine science with history: register and come to Amsterdam!

If you have not already done so you can register and secure your place here.
