Welcome

The European Society of Ophthalmology (SOE) and the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) have the pleasure of inviting you to their next Joint Congress which will take place in Geneva, 4th - 7th June 2011.

Located in the centre of Europe, Geneva is easy to reach from anywhere in the world. Although a cosmopolitan city, Geneva has retained all the charm of a small town - a truly great destination for our next Joint Congress.

We have prepared a stimulating and exciting scientific programme. The Key Note Lecturers are Wolfgang Drexler, Anders Heijl, Shigeru Kinoshita and Jonathan Trobe. As always, we have collaborated closely with many subspecialty societies from both sides of the Atlantic, ensuring state-of-the-art contributions from the best experts from around the globe.

Except for the EUPO Course there will be no charges for courses during the Joint Congress. We hope that you will join us at the next Joint SOE/AAO Congress, which will be a dynamic meeting with exciting scientific and social interaction with Ophthalmologists from all over the world.
