Abstract

Dear Friends and Colleagues, The European Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (EHSF) will hold its 8th Conference in Wroclaw, Poland. It will be a great honour for us to guest outstanding clinicians and researches not only from European counties, but from all over the world. On behalf of the Organizing Committee I would like to invite you to take part in this event, that will promote all aspects of ihidradenitis suppurativa research. Wroclaw, lying on both banks of the Odra river, is a unique city with 12 islands and 112 bridges. As the main city of Lower Silesia it is the region’s economic, cultural and scientific capital. Wroclaw has been a place where various nationalities and numerous cultures meet. Nowadays it combines rich thousand-year history with modern life. Guests may see valuable architectural monuments, magic places, such as the Town Hall, Ostrów Tumski with the St. John Baptist Cathedral and Racławice Panorama – an extraordinary exhibition of the famous monumental painting of the battle. Moreover, visitors can find dozens of restaurants, cafes and pubs set in the historical beautiful center. In 2016 Wroclaw was the European Capital of Culture. The 8th EHSF Conference in Wroclaw will welcome every contribution from those devoted to the progres of hidradenitis suppurativa research. It is our goal to have an international interdisciplinary meeting addressing physicians and scientists especially in dermatology and all other fields of related experimental medicine. I believe Wroclaw’s warm hospitality, pleasant atmosphere will make our city the ideal place for this purpose. I do hope that besides the outstanding scientific program, participants will have opportunity to visit our city, enjoy social events and make new friendships. Wroclaw is honoured to welcome you in February 2019 On behalf of the Organizing Committee.
