Welcome message

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (EACPT)and the Hungarian Society for Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology it is my pleasure toinvite you to the 10th Congress of EACPT.

The Congress will take place between 26-29 June 2011 in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.

Budapest, “The Pearl of the Danube” is a multilingual, international metropole in the heartof Central Europe with nearly two million inhabitants, lively cultural and social life, plenty ofspas and green areas to relax. The venue is the Budapest Congress & World Trade Centerwhere experienced staff will host and serve the attendees.

Our title “From Drug Research to Therapy for the Benefit of Patients” is symbolising the closeconnection of the principle of clinical pharmacology to basic research as well as to theeveryday patient care. The Congress will focus on key research and therapeutic areas andtheir related problems and latest achievements with the help of distinguished invitedspeakers, opinion leaders, experts and the upcoming future generation of clinicalpharmacologists.

Come to Budapest to make the 10th Congress of EACPT a real success and to enjoy life andthe hospitality of the capital of Hungary and its people.

With best regards on behalf of the organizers
