Dear friends and colleagues,
In the spirit of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons' Spring Meetings, which started in 2004 in Zurich, it is an honor for me to announce the 2006 session in Cluj‑Napoca, Romania.
Romanian people, famous for their hospitality have always found a charming way of combining ancient Romanian spirit and traditions with the desire of belonging in the great European family. Therefore, Cluj‑Napoca, one of the oldest European cities, known in history for 2000 years, is dressing up for its special guests and friends.
We trust that through the 2006 Cluj‑Napoca Spring Meeting we will continue and further develop the friendship and professional excellence that define the ESTS family.
The presence of our distinguished colleagues from all over the world will ensure as always a high level scientific approach through their exchange of medical opinions valued by all the attendees regardless of their career levels. There is a special and constant attention within the ESTS family for the young generation who has to learn from the more experienced in order to continue and develop this complex surgical area.
Since for most of our colleagues this will be their first contact with the Romanian landscape, our local hosts also wish that you will consider the time spent here a good opportunity to experience our local traditions as a part of the European culture.
The local hosts and organizers are looking forward to welcome you in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
President of the Local Organizing Committee, Dr. Dan
Mihail Nicolau
