ESP/IAP 2020 | Preliminary Programme

3 ESP / IAP 2020 · Glasgow The 32 nd Congress of the European Society of Pathology and the XXXIII Inter- national Congress of the International Academy of Pathology will, as in 2016, be organised as a joint venture between the ESP and the BDIAP. It will be held from 5–9 December 2020 in the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and is located on both sides of the River Clyde. The University of Glasgow, established in 1451, is one of the oldest and largest universities in Europe. Glasgow is a major cultural centre for Scotland and was the European City of Culture in 1990. On behalf of the International Academy of Pathology and the European Society of Pathology we would like to invite you to join us in Glasgow for an exciting and stimulating congress that will reflect recent developments in diagnostic and molecular pathology. The motto of the Congress – Glasgow 2020: A Vision for the Future – will reinforce the future role of pathology as a strong partner for the different clini- cal specialties. The scientific programme will include science, translational research and clinical application to provide delegates with information on recent research findings, new technologies and up-to-date education. In addition to providing an interesting scientific and educational programme, the ESP/IAP 2020 meeting will serve as a get-together for pathologists and scientists from all over the world in a friendly atmosphere. The delegates are warmly invited to explore the city and surrounding areas to appreciate the hos- pitality of the local population and enjoy the extensive facilities. We are looking forward to welcoming you and spending a great time in Glasgow! Holger Moch & Ray McMahon Congress Presidents 2020 Welcome Address Ray McMahon Holger Moch
