9th European Craniofacial Congress

Dear Colleagues,

The European Craniofacial Congress has a long tradition, which is why the Austrian Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association is proud to be able to organize this conference in Austria for the first time. It is an honour and pleasure for us to continue this tradition in Salzburg in September 2011.

The conference will focus mainly on interdisciplinary co-operation, the joint effort of all specialist fields involved in the treatment of patients with cleft lip and/or palate and related craniofacial anomalies. Besides top international speakers, we would appreciate many contributions from all participating disciplines as this co-operation is so important for a successful treatment. With this in mind, we would like to encourage colleagues from all countries to take an active part in the conference and offer lectures and/or poster-presentations. Salzburg, which is well-known as a venue for conferences, will also play a part by creating the right atmosphere for our endeavours.

So, let us all take the opportunity to establish new contacts in other countries and in other specialised areas as well as renew old friendships and acquaintances.

I would therefore like to invite you to participate in the 9th European Craniofacial Congress in September 2011, and wish you a successful time, scientifically, as well as a relaxing and interesting time in Salzburg.

Best regards

Peter Schachner, MD, DDS
