1st Announcement

Dear Colleague, dear scientist, dear friend,

The International Society for Infectious diseases in Obstetrics (ISIDOG) proudly announces its 5th Biannual European Congress. ISIDOG conferences are unique experiences and we would warmly invite you to come and join us in Athens from  19 till 22 October 2023. ISIDOG unites top clinicians and researchers from all over Europe and far abroad to come together and share knowledge and friendship. Also a strong interaction with the industry is very important for ISIDOG.

As we aim for high quality and maximal interaction, we organize rather small conferences (around 200 attendees) and limit parallel sessions to an absolute minimum. Participation fees are kept modest, and are adapted to your level of education and originating country, in order nobody would  feel hold back from attending.

In the program we present a wide variety of topics, from biology, diagnostics and guidelines, to therapy, prevention and vaccination of all types of infections, in or outside pregnancy, sexually transmitted or not, and would welcome all of to come and present your contributions in the field. Typically we would not show posters in the side corridors, but invite everyone to present their free communications or electronic posters with some slides, followed by discussion. Several prices for best presentations will be awarded and proclaimed at an official session at the end of the congress.

Athens is a very inviting and cultural city and we will ensure a wide range of social activities to be introduced in the program in order to make the congress feel as a trip with family and friends.

I would be happy not only to meet you in Athens on our meeting, but also to welcome you as an ISIDOG member (www.isidog.com), as this will dramatically reduce your participation fees, and give you access to our guidelines, activities like microscopy courses, and a right to vote for future Board members.

In the name of all ISIDOG Board members and Dr Aris Tsiakalis and his organizing team,

Prof. Dr. Gilbert Donders
President ISIDOG
