Dear young Endocrinologists,
We are delighted to invite you to the annual meeting of the “Young Active Research in Endocrinology” to be held in Dresden in October 2012. After the great sucess of the first meeting out of Germany we will come back to the roots. We continue the tradition and provide you a scientific platform where you can meet other young scientists and clinicians from Germany and all over Europe.

Dresden is the capital city of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the Czech border. Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendour. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city centre. A Allied aerial bombing towards the end of World War II completely destroyed the entire city.Some restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Dresdner Frauenkirche. Since the German reunification in 1990, Dresden has regained importance as one of the cultural, educational, political and economic centres of Germany.

There will be an interesting program, accompanied by a special social event. Please refer to the informations given on the right side later this year. Each participant is invited to give a talk followed by a short discussion (10+2). In this context you can gain first experiences and improve your presentation skills. You can discuss a concept, present work in progress, final data or talk about a case report. Presentations must be given in English.Please keep in mind that most the participants are not familiar with your topic, so include two or three background slides.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Dresden
