Dear Colleague,

The 26th European Congress of Pathology (ECP 2014) will for the first time be organised as a joint venture between the European Society of Pathology and Pathology London 2014 Ltd (a trading subsidiary of The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland).

It will be held, from 30 August to 3 September 2014 in the ExCeL Centre in London, United Kingdom.

On behalf of the European Society of Pathology and the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland we would like to invite you to join us in London for a meeting that will be both exciting and involving, reflecting the rapid changes in our profession, both in unravelling disease mechanisms and in our clinical diagnostic working practice.

The motto of the Congress – Understanding Disease – is the well-known mission statement of Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. And it is timely, now that we have greater understanding of many diseases arising from the ongoing revolution in genetics and other translational research methods.

Pathology is more than ever at the centre of clinical decision making, resulting in new challenges and opportunities. It is the philosophy of both the European Society of Pathology and the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland that through better understanding of diseases we can improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment of patients.

The London 2014 scientific programme aims to bring science, translational research and clinical application together to provide delegates with a comprehensive forum for dissemination of research findings, exploration of modern technologies and up to date education.

In addition to providing a rewarding scientific and educational programme the London 2014 meeting will bring together pathologists and scientists from all over the world in a convivial environment providing a memorable social experience.We are looking forward to welcoming you and spending a great time in London.

Prof. Han van KriekenPresident of the European Society of Pathology

e BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ESP

The European Society of Pathology (ESP) was established in 1963 in Brussels and is a leading force in European pa-thology and, as such, is pivotal to the future of the spe-cialty in Europe and beyond. As a scientific society, the ESP has, as its primary aim, the promotion of high qual-ity diagnostic practice, applied and translational research and under- and postgraduate education in the field of hu-man pathology. This is achieved through its congresses, its journal Virchows Archiv and various other activities. The ESP interacts with national pathology societies in Europe and has developed links with other EU bodies in close col-laboration with UEMS (Union Euro péenne des Médecins Spécialistes) and EAPCP (European Association of Pathol-ogy Chairs and Programme Directors).

e BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PATHOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, founded in 1906, is the professional organisation sup-porting academic pathology in the UK and is dedicated to enhancing high quality research and education in pathol-ogy in its broadest sense. The stated focus and mission of the Pathological Society is to promote the understand-ing of disease and the Society actively engages with other organisations and in partnership to develop programmes to achieve this goal. We are delighted that Understanding Disease has been adopted as the motto of London 2014 our joint meeting with the European Society of Pathology. Membership of the Society, often referred to as Path Soc, is open to all individuals involved in pathological research and education and includes the option of a subscription to our Society Journal. The Journal of Pathology is one of the foremost and highest impact journals in the field. Path Soc currently hosts a major conference twice a year

The European School of Pathology under the auspices of the ESP and with the support of 19 Working Groups representing different fields of pathology is involved in the organisation of courses to meet the needs of young pathologists. The ESP also provides an infrastructure for quality assurance projects in diagnostic molecular pathol-ogy, such as the ESP QA KRAS project for testing of colo-rectal cancer.

with outstanding speakers on a range of topics from basic molecular pathology to diagnostic practice and provides a forum for investigators across the world to present their research. The Society also has a generous range of grants that it awards to its members including PhD studentships, scholarships and travel support. It aims to facilitate future high quality research, by developing programmes for un-dergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and by engaging with the general public.

e SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS

The Scientific Committee invites you to participate actively in this conference which will be an extraordinary occasion for the exchange of thoughts and experiences. We look forward to receiving abstracts online for consideration and inclusion in the scientific programme as oral or poster pre-sentation.

The submitted abstracts should give a brief description of the title and topic. All abstracts will be reviewed by mem-bers of the working groups and/or the Scientific Commit-tee. The reviewers will judge the abstracts according to the relevance to ESP and Path Soc, standard of English, objectivity of statement, description of what was done, suitability of methods to aims, conclusions confirmed by objective results, ethics, scientific value, potential clinical value, originality of work and overall impression.

All accepted abstracts will be published in an abstract book which is a supplement to Virchows Archiv, and online on the congress website www.esp-congress.org.

Detailed instructions regarding the electronic submission procedure can be found on the website.

The deadline for abstract submission is 8 April 2014.

e GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

e Abstracts are to be submitted in English, the official lan-guage of the 26th European Congress of Pathology and should not exceed 200 words and structured in the fol-lowing specified subtitles: Objective, Methods, Results and Conclusion.

e Case reports should also be structured as much as pos-sible following the aforementioned subtitles. If not pos-sible, the authors should upload the Abstracts using the most appropriate subtitles (in the respective windows at the website).

e The abstract submission constitutes a formal commit-ment by the author to present the corresponding pres-entation in the session and time slot assigned by the Scientific Committee.

e Changes in authorship should be communicated to the Scientific Committee in order to ensure correct appear-ance in the printed programme.

e If the original presenting author is unable to present, one of the co-authors should take over this responsibility.

e Registration to the Congress is compulsory to be able to present the abstract and get it published in the abstract book – and must be completed by 13 June 2014. If the speaker fails to register and pay before 13 June 2014, his / her abstract will be excluded from the scientific pro-gramme and publication in Virchows Archiv.

e If a delegate has registered upon the condition that his /her abstract is accepted and the abstract is rejected, the registration fee will be refunded. The acceptance of ab-stracts by the Scientific Committee does not imply any financial assistance or fee reduction.

e Notification of acceptance or rejection by the Scientific Committee will be mailed to the presenting author. De-tailed information in which format the abstract is accept-ed (poster presentation or oral presentation), guidelines and recommendations for poster presentation, oral pres-entation as well as time allotment, date, hour, and venue will be sent in due time to registered presenting authors.

To provide maximum information in the abstract pleasee state the specific objective of the studye state the methods used, if pertinente summarise the results obtainede state the conclusions reachede ensure that the abstract does not contain spelling, gram-

mar or scientific errors, as it will be reproduced exactly as submitted.
