Welcome

The British Society for Clinical Cytology (BSCC) is pleased to announce that Edinburgh has been chosen to host the 17th International Congress of Cytology on behalf of the International Academy of Cytology from Sunday 16th to Thursday 20th May 2010.

The Congress is being held in the award-winning Edinburgh  International Conference Centre (EICC), situated in the heart of the city. The purpose-built EICC offers state-of-the-art facilities and will provide the perfect venue for the Congress.

The scientific programme will highlight contemporary and future developments in screening and diagnostic cytology, including invited lectures, symposia and workshops from internationally recognised experts.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and is the perfect location for the 17^th International Congress of Cytology. It is large enough to be able to provide all the facilities international delegates would expect but small enough and friendly enough to explore thoroughly on foot. It has a magnificent city centre setting with the ancient castle dominating Princes Street, the main shopping thoroughfare, set amongst medieval lanes and stylish, sweeping terraces. Edinburgh is steeped in history, and boasts a myriad of World Heritage Sites of historical interest. There is a wealth of accommodation ranging from 5 star luxury and exclusive boutique hotels to low budget and smaller traditional accommodation full of Scottish character.

An exciting and memorable social programme and accompanying guests programme is being arranged throughout the Congress with the Congress Dinner and Ceilidh in the EICC and an exclusive opening of Edinburgh Castle for a drinks reception.

Scotland offers a feast of cultural and historical delights. Visitors have endless opportunities to explore some of the world's most breathtaking scenery, from the mountains and glens of the Highlands to the lowlands of the Borders.

For those who love the outdoors, Scotland offers an unlimited choice of pursuits and spectacular scenery. World class angling on the famous salmon and trout rivers, sailing and spectacular hill walks are just a few of the many possibilities. Scotland, of course, is also the home of golf, with many courses to choose from, including the famous championship links of St Andrews.

We hope you will join us in Edinburgh in May.
