The title of the 15th ESC congress is: 'Family planning and contraception from adolescence to the menopause'.

The programme has been divided into sessions on:

• Technology & basic science
• Clinical practice
• Culture & policies
• Quality of services
• General/other

In addition, there will be "Meet the Experts sessions", "Expert Groups sessions", "Joint Society sessions" which allow deeper discussion of special topics in smaller groups. This exciting programme provides an ideal mix for a successful Congress.

The Congress will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers, clinicians and other professionals to extend their knowledge and meet with international experts in this field. The capital city, Budapest, is often regarded as one of Europe's most beautiful cities. It stands stately guard over the lovely River Danube and boasts a past that reaches back in time to before the Roman Empire. Budapest is up there among the world's most romantic and entertaining capitals. Not nicknamed the "Paris of the East" for nothing, it boasts broad boulevards and green parks, grand Art-Nouveau mansions, vibrantly painted churches, lively cafés and world-class music venues. The city is divided into two parts by the meandering Danube, spanned by several, stunning bridges.

Friendly people, genuine hospitality, unique gastronomy.

Three UNESCO World Heritage sites, a wide range of cultural programs and museums, there are few more suitable places worldwide where an uplifting, cultural experience could better be combined with the rejuvenating experience of a health spa treatment than Budapest.

We look forward to welcoming you to Budapest in May 2018!
