A Welcome from the Local Host Committee

Dear Colleagues,

It is truly a pleasure and a great honour to be asked to chair the Local Host Committee of the CIRSE 2012 meeting in Lisbon. On behalf of the IR section of the Portuguese Radiological Society (SPRMN), and together with the co-chairmen, Alfredo Gil Agostinho and Tomás Figueira, and the rest of the Local Committee, we hope our humble efforts will help repeat the success of recent CIRSE meetings, and maintain the high standards we have come to expect from this prestigious congress.
I also hope that, together with the fabulous efficiency of the CIRSE Central Office in Vienna, the wise members of the Executive Committee, and the comprehensive choices of the Scientific Programme Planning Committee, we will be able to fulfil your expectations. The scientific programme is already being carefully planned, and will cover, as ever, a wide and varied range of IR topics.

Paulo Almeida
Chairman of the CIRSE 2012 Local Host Committee

Lisbon and its seven hills will once again be ready to receive all those who are visiting our town for the second time, but most of all, we look forward to welcoming those of you who will be experiencing our distinctive skyline and pleasant climate for the first time. Be sure to stroll our pedestrian downtown, uphill walkways and “praças” (squares), and soak up the nightlife atmosphere along the meandering banks of the Tejo River. Don’t miss our gastronomy, monuments and museums, and if there is enough time, you must be sure to pay a visit to our spectacular beaches...

Hosting such a large and important meeting is a proud moment for us, and we look forward to arresting the attention and awareness of both local and European Health Authorities, in order to show them the importance and economical efficacy of using IR in the healing chain. So in September 2012, make yourselves welcome in Lisbon, and rest assured, you will not be disappointed by coming, nor forget these days for years to come!

Vêmo-nos em Lisboa - See you in Lisbon!
