“Je ne suis pas objectif car Barcelone est ma ville natale. Mais travailler dans les sciences et la technologie et parler de sa ville, c’est synonyme de candidat idéal pour réaliser un congrès, un grand congrès sans doute. Nous avons eu l’opportunité et le succès d’organiser le congrès européen de robotique gynécologique (SERGS) et ma satisfaction est seulement comparable à celle de nos invités et participants... quelle grande ville! ”

“After 2009 EANM has chosen Barcelona again in 2016 for its Annual Congress. Besides the fact of a marvelous climate end of October, the hospitality as well in the city but more over in the Congress Centre (CCIB) and its surrounding hotels convinced the entire Nuclear Medicine Community to share their knowledge and findings within their field of expertise with an “all-time high number of almost 6.500 participants”. We are already now very much looking forward to coming back again in 2019. ”

“Lors de la planification et l'organisation de son 49e congrès annuel, qui a réuni il y a peu 18.500 médecins, chercheurs et professionnels qui travaillent dans le domaine du diabète, les directeur de l'EASD (European Association for the Study of Diabetes) ont remarqué la grande attraction culturelle et touristique de Barcelone, les conditions “excellentes” (selon leurs propres mots) des installations de la foire, la qualité et la quantité de l'offre hôtelière de la ville et l'importance et la visibilité croissantes de la recherche biomédicale qui est actuellement menée à bien dans la capitale catalane. Ilsont aussi applaudi la fiabilité et le professionnalisme des organismes locaux impliqués dans les engagements acquis, en particulier face aux imprévus.”

“Barcelona is a welcoming city which is respectful of Human Rights and diversity. Holding the Conference “Equality and Security” in the city provided a unique opportunity to raise the profile of women in police organisations, where we are still in the minority, both internationally and locally Barcelona is proud of its position as an international reference point in the field of equality in security. The aim of our Conference, safely hosted in the Congress Palace, was to reflect these values and give visibility to the role of women in security Thanks to the efforts of all involved we achieved our goals and the conference proved to be an enriching experience for our delegates, the volunteers and us as organisers. We, women in policing, are very grateful to Barcelona City Council, Fira de Barcelona, Barcelona Turisme Convention Bureau and local companies involved for their contribution to making the Conference a success. ”
