BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ESP
The European Society of Pathology (ESP) was established
in 1963 in Brussels and is a leading force in European pa-
thology and, as such, is pivotal to the future of the spe-
cialty in Europe and beyond. As a scientific society, the
ESP has, as its primary aim, the promotion of high qual-
ity diagnostic practice, applied and translational research
and under- and postgraduate education in the field of hu-
man pathology. This is achieved through its congresses, its
journal Virchows Archiv and various other activities. The
ESP interacts with national pathology societies in Europe
and has developed links with other EU bodies in close col-
laboration with UEMS (Union Européenne des Médecins
Spécialistes) and EAPCP (European Association of Pathol
ogy Chairs and Programme Directors).
The European School of Pathology under the auspices
of the ESP and with the support of 19 Working Groups
representing different fields of pathology is involved in
the organisation of courses to meet the needs of young
pathologists. The ESP also provides an infrastructure for
quality assurance projects in diagnostic molecular pathol-
ogy, such as the ESP QA KRAS project for testing of colo-
rectal cancer.

About ESP
„ART PATHS BELGRADE 2015 – THE SOUL OF LABORATORY LIFE“
We are inviting ESP
members and all persons
involved in the 27
th
ECP
Belgrade 2015, either as
meeting attendees, accompanying persons, sponsors or
vendors to participate in „Art Paths Belgrade 2015“, a vir-
tual and on site photo art exhibition that will be held dur-
ing the ECP in Belgrade.
The path labs have their own soul. If you see your lab
beyond the obvious, if you recognize another dimension,
outside the equipment, space or slides, give us that pleas-
ure and show them to us. A picture speaks as a thousand
words. The photos inspired by pathologists and their
co-workers, special moments and different happenings
should come to light and are welcome.
We invite you to participate in both the virtual and the on-
site photo art exhibition in Belgrade and change the face
of pathology together. Show us your hidden talents!
At the Closing Ceremony of the 27
th
ECP the two best
photographs will be awarded.
Further details on participation and photo art work sub-
mission will shortly be available on the 27
