Before you leave for your well-deserved vacation, please make sure to submit your symposia proposal for the 9th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry, 28 June – 2 July 2009 in Paris before . The deadline is June 30th, 2008. We invite you to visit the Congress website where you will find all relevant information:

To further enhance the quality and profoundness of the scientific programme we would very much appreciate if you also encouraged your colleagues and collaborators to submit an abstract and be part of the 9th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry.

Over the summer we will proceed with the preparations for the WFSBP 2009 Paris Congress so that we can present to you the accepted symposia with the start of the new academic year.

Sincerely yours,

Siegfried Kasper, MD
