Welcome

The organisers of the 9th Congress of the EACPT are delighted to announce that Edinburgh has been chosen to host the 2009 event from Sunday 12th to Wednesday 15th July 2009.

The Congress will be held in Edinburgh, 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.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and is the perfect location for EACPT 2009. 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 its 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 smaller traditional accommodation full of Scottish character.

An exciting and memorable social programme and accompanying guests programme will be arranged throughout the Congress.

Scotland is also home of golf, including the famous championship links of Muirfield, Turnberry and St Andrews. There are more than 20 golf courses within the city of Edinburgh. So why not plan a holiday to Scotland before or after the Congress.

We hope you will join us in Edinburgh in 2009.
