Welcome to Lisbon
We are very pleased to invite you to the 19th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Clinical Virology, that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 14 to 17 September 2016. This meeting will cover hot topics of clinical virology, maintaining the high scientific standards of previous meetings of this Society.
Lisbon is known as the white city, thanks to its unique light. The clear light and the kind climate allow for marvellous walks all over the city, with wonderful views over the Tagus River. It is the country's star attraction, filled with majestic monasteries, gothic cathedrals, quaint museums, traditional pastry and restaurants with “fadistas” singing their traditional songs.
Lisbon is the only European capital with sandy beaches 20 minutes away from the cobbled stone city centre and a luxuriously green holy mountain around the corner. From 2009 to 2013 Lisbon has been voted three times as the Best City Break Destination in Europe.
We hope you will take this opportunity to come to Lisbon in 2016 and combine science and leisure.
Looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon,
Paulo Paixão
