56th ORCA Congress June 30, 2009

On behalf of the Organising Committee of the 56th Congress of the European Organisation for Caries Research, we are delighted to invite you to Budapest on July 1-4, 2009.

We are honoured to be the host of the congress and to provide a forum for delegates to discuss scientific results, share experiences, strengthen links and explore collaborative approaches in the field of caries research.

Budapest is a dynamic and vibrant city offering a large scale of cultural and natural beauties. This is the only capital in the world where more than 100 hot thermal springs feed a wide range of baths. The congress venue is located in the very heart of the city at the bank of the River Danube offering you a splendid panorama onto the UNESCO World Heritage Buda Castle area.

We do look forward to meeting you in Budapest.

On behalf of the Organising Committee,
Zsuzsanna Tóth
