Breast and Female Imaging
Dear colleagues and friends,
On behalf of the members of the Faculty it is my honor and pleasure to announce the Erasmus MRI course in Female Pelvis and Breast MRI that will be held from May 31 to June 3, 2012, in Zagreb, Croatia.
Comprehensive lectures and workshops will be provided by the excellent faculty of internationally recognized speakers and experts from the USA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria and speakers from the region.
In addition to the stimulating scientific programme the social programme is prepared for attendees. The meeting is held in five-star Hotel Westin in the heart of the city center of Zagreb. Participants can easily visit most attractive sites of Zagreb, capital of Croatia, that are situated in the city centre. We have ensured lower prices for the accommodation for participants, both in hotel Westin and alternative cheaper hotels. Zagreb has international airport and can be reached from most European cities with direct daily flights. Zagreb can also be easily reached by car; there is excellent network of highways (distances are: Ljubljana 135 km, Trieste 280 km, Vienna 370 km, Graz 170 kn, Budapest 360 km, Belgrade 400 km, Munich 500 km).
The weather in Zagreb in late spring is usually warm and sunny, with average temperatures between 20-25 C.
All information about programme, accommodation, sightseeing and travelling, as well as all information about registration and social events can be obtained under this text.
