Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 73rd EAS Congress, we cordially invite you to an exciting scientific and social event.

This Congress, scheduled between July 7th and 10th, coincides with the world-famous annual Salzburg Festival and will occur in the newly opened Salzburg Congress Centre, one of the most advanced and modern congress facilities in Europe.

We have invited some of the most famous scientists in the field of atherosclerosis research for the scientific program of our congress, who promised to present the newest developments in their field of interest. Topics covered among others include: genomics, proteomics, immunology, cholesterol homeostasis, novel anti-atherosclerotic treatments, pathomechanism and enhancement of reverse cholesterol transport.

The scientific highlights of the congress without doubt are the nobel laureate lecture and the key-note lecture.

The nobel laureate lecture "A Century of Cholesterol and Coronaries" will be given by Joseph Goldstein right after the opening of the scientific program on Monday morning.

The key-note lecture entitled "Chromosome Segregation - one hundred and one years after Mendel's Rediscovery is scheduled immediately after the Opening Ceremony on Sunday and will be presented by Kim Nasmyth.

In order to encourage younger scientists to actively participate in the meeting, we will select oral presentations from submitted abstracts that will cover up to 50% of the workshop program.

As part of our social program you will be able to sample some of the culture of Salzburg, including concerts and exciting tours to the old part of Salzburg and the famous sound of music castle.

We look forward to welcoming your participation. We will endeavour to make it an unforgettable event, both scientifically and socially.

Yours faithfully,

Gert M. Kostner Karam M. Kostner
