Dear Fiends and Colleagues,

The European Confederation of Medical Mycology will hold its 2004 10th Anniversary Congress in Wroclaw, Poland. On behalf of the Organizing Committee we would like to invite you to take part in this event, that will promote every aspect of Medical and Veterinary Mycology.

Wroclaw, lying on both banks of the Odra river, is a unique city with 12 islands and 112 bridges. As the main city of Lower Silesia it is the region's economic, cultural and scientific capital. Wroclaw has been a place where various nationalities and numerous cultures meet. Nowadays it combines rich thousand-year history with modern life. Tourists may see valuable architectural monuments, magic places, such as the Town Hall, Ostrów Tumski with the St John Baptist Cathedral and Raclawice Panorama – an extraordinary exhibition of the famous monumental painting of the battle. Moreover, visitors can find dozens of restaurants, cafes and pubs set in the historical beautiful center.

The Congress of the European Confederation of Medical Mycology in Wroclaw will welcome every contribution from those devoted to the progress of Mycology. We believe Wroclaw's warm hospitality, pleasant atmosphere make our city the ideal place for this purpose. We do hope that instead of outstanding scientific programme participants will have opportunity to visit our city, enjoy social events and make new friendships.
