On behalf of the European Society of Pathology and the Portuguese Society of Pathology / Portuguese Division of the International Academy of Pathology we would like to invite you to join us in Lisbon. The motto of the ECP 2013: Prof. Manuel Sobrinho Simões Pathology: A gate to the future is symbolically represented by the Tower of Belém. The icon of the ECP 2013 is a monument close to the Congress Centre that commemorates the voyage towards the unknown of the Portuguese navigators. Pathology, in addition to its traditional clinical problem solving role, is entering uncharted waters – this notion is reflected in the scientific programme that has been prepared mainly by the ESP Working Groups and encompasses 23 topics, four Keynote lectures and a number of very special, “Special Sessions”. The scientific activities will be centred upon Diagnosis, Prognosis and Prediction, having Personalized Pathology as the ultimate goal. Following the motto of the Congress, a particular attention has been paid to the Residents who will organize among other scientific and social activities a Plenary Residents Seminar whose “Grande Finale” will take place at the closing events of the Congress. We are looking forward to welcoming you and spending a great time in Lisbon.

As a scientific society, the ESP has, as its primary aim, the promotion of high quality diagnostic practice, applied and translational research and under- and postgraduate education in the field of human pathology. This is achieved through its congresses, its journal Virchows Archiv and various other activities. The ESP interacts with national pathology societies in Europe and has developed links with other EU bodies in close collaboration with UEMS (Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes) and EAPCP (European Association of Pathol ogy Chairs and Programme Directors). The European School of Pathology under the auspices of the ESP and with the support of 19 Working Groups representing different fields of pathology is involved in the organisation of courses to meet the needs of young pathologists. The ESP also provides an infrastructure for quality assurance projects in diagnostic molecular pathology, such as the ESP QA KRAS project for testing of colorectal cancer. The aim of the ESP is that its new permanent headquarters in Brussels (capable of holding meetings for up to forty people) will become the “hub” of European pathology.

The event will take part at the “Cavalariças” at Pestana Palace Hotel. Located in one of the most tranquil areas of Lisbon, the Hotel Pestana Palace was born from the restoration and refurbishment of the former Marquês de Valle Flôr Palace, dated from the 19th century and classified as a national monument. This majestic and attractive palace was built by an entrepreneur who made his fortune with successful agricultural endeavours in São Tomé and Principe. His connections to France influenced the design of the building, with styles from the Luis XIV, Regency, Luis XV and Luis XVI eras, creating a surprising historical setting. The “Cavalariças” (coachman’s house), originally built in the first decade of the 20th century, was intended to be used as a coach-stable, and also to provide accommodation for the stable staff. The architects responsible for the adaptation and refurbishment of the original building did manage to retain a sufficient amount of the character of the old building, to remind visitors of the carriages, horses and saddler of yesteryear.

It was opened on July 30, 1793 by Queen Maria I as a replacement for the Tejo Opera House in Comercio Square, which was destroyed in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The theatre is located in the historical center of Lisbon, in the Chiado district. It was built in only six months following a design by Portuguese architect José da Costa e Silva, with neoclassical and rococo elements. The exterior was inspired by Milan’s La Scala, and the beautiful interior with excellent acoustics resembles the San Carlo Theatre in Naples, with five galleries and boxes adorned with neoclassical and rococo decorations, seating up to 1.148 people. The theatre was named after the Princess Charlotte of Spain, who had come to Portugal in 1790 to marry the future King, Prince John. Carlos (Portuguese form of Charles) is the masculine form of Charlotte. A Latin commemorative inscription dedicates the theatre to the princess. The first opera presented here, in 1793, was La Ballerina Amante, by Domenico Cimarosa. You will get to enjoy an exclusive ECP concert performed by the renowed Coro Gulbenkian and conducted by Jorge Matta, which you can book tickets for.
