Welcome Address

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are very proud to invite you to the 19th Annual Congress of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, from September 29 to October 02, 2010.

The chance to combine leading world experts in Gynaecologic Endoscopy and Minimal Access Surgery with the unique art treasures and Mediterranean atmosphere of Barcelona represents a valuable opportunity to promote the science of “Endoscopy” and to allow people coming from different countries to meet and Exchange ideas.

Workshops covering different interesting topics will be held during the day prior to the congress.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Barcelona!

Dr. Francisco Carmona
Congress President
Dr. Juan Gilabert Aguilar
Congress President
Prof. Arnaud Wattiez
ESGE President

Welcome to Barcelona!
Set on a plain rising gently from the sea to a range of wooded hills, Barcelona is Spain's most cosmopolitan city and one of the Mediterranean's busiest ports.
Barcelona regards its long past with pride. From Roman town it passed to medieval trade juggernaut, and its old centre constitutes one of the greatest concentrations of Gothic architecture in Europe. Beyond this core are some of the world's more bizarre buildings: surreal spectacles capped by Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família church.
Barcelona has been breaking ground in art, architecture and style since the late 19th century. From the marvels of Modernisme to the modern wonders of today, from Picasso to the likes of Susana Solano, the racing heart of Barcelona has barely skipped a beat.
The city itself could keep you occupied for weeks but just outside it are sandy beaches, Sitges and the Montserrat mountain range - so be sure to make time for a few day trips before or after your stay for the Congress!
