European Society of Contraception and Reproductive Health 15th Congress

It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 15th Congress of the European Society of Contraception and Reproductive Health in Budapest in May 2018.

We are delighted that our Society has organised this important 15th anniversary event in the capital city of Hungary.

The title of the congress ‘Family planning and contraception from adolescence to the menopause’ highlights that we will deal with numerous issues relating to the reproductive health of all. It is the ESC’s aim to provide a platform for introducing and exchanging the latest scientific and sociologic knowledge in the field of reproductive health. Improving and sharing our knowledge can facilitate providing the most suitable, safe and effective healthcare. The Congress will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers, clinicians and other professionals to extend their knowledge and meet with international experts in this field. The programme has been divided into sessions on: technology & basic science, clinical practice, culture & policies, quality of services, general/other. In addition, there will be “Meet the Expert sessions”, “Expert Group sessions” and “Joint Society sessions”, which allow deeper discussion of special topics in smaller groups.

Budapest is often regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. This attractive and vibrant city has all the ingredients to make the Congress a joyful and memorable event. You can find historical monuments from Roman times to modern, broad boulevards which are decorated by grand, Art-Nouveau mansions.

Budapest has three UNESCO World Heritage sites, a wide range of cultural programmes and museums as well as the rejuvenating experience of beautiful health spas. Colourfully decorated churches, lively cafés and world-class music venues as well as friendly people, genuine hospitality and unique Hungarian gastronomy combine to make your stay memorable.

We hope that the exciting scientific programme and the fascinating host city will convince you to join this Congress.

We look forward to welcoming you to Budapest in May 2018.
