Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 15th International Symposium on Contact Dermatitis in conjunction with the 5th International Symposium on Irritant Contact Dermatitis, which will take place in Paphos, Cyprus on November 6 – 9, 2005.

The aim of the Symposium is to stimulate discussion between clinicians and researchers, to exchange ideas and to spread the knowledge on Contact Dermatitis. The program will cover the spectrum of allergic and irritant contact dermatitis, basic mechanisms and clinical aspects.

Plenary sessions, Symposia and Poster sessions will cover the different aspects of this important dermatosis. You are invited to submit your proposal online via the Symposium website.

The Symposium will take place in Elysium Beach Resort, a five star deluxe hotel. A social program will complement the scientific activities and will include pre and post symposium tours and special program for participants and accompanying persons. Cyprus, known as the "Island of Love", is sure to be a wonderful setting for the Symposium, with its warm people, fascinating landscapes, beautiful sandy beaches and colorful towns.

We hope to see all of you in Paphos, Cyprus!

Best regards,

Prof. Arieh Ingber, Dr. Akiva Trattner
