International Congress of Endocrinology

The International Congress of Endocrinology 2008

Welcome to the website for information about the ICE that took place in Rio in November 2008.

Chairman's Message

Dear Colleagues,

The International Congress of Endocrinology (ICE) is being held in 2008 in the wonderful Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. This is the first time it is taking place in South America.

Over the last fifty years the International Society of Endocrinology has met around the world. It is a unique and wonderful opportunity for endocrinologists from all continents to exchange and learn clinical and scientific endocrinology as well as experience and benefit from different cultures.

Rio is the most wonderful city – one of the most beautiful in the world situated as it is with its Atlantic forests and green mountains reaching smoothly down to the blue and warm Atlantic Ocean. Brazil is alive with charm, beauty and sophistication. Well synchronized with Rio, the country also has many attractions, magnificent landscapes, irresistible songs and one of the friendliest people in the world.

The organizing committee of the International Congress - Rio 2008, with an international scientific committee chaired by Professor John Wass from Oxford in the UK, is working hard to prepare a congress which will fill everybody’s expectations. This is traditionally the largest gathering of endocrinologists in the world and we look forward to welcoming you to an occasion which will remain fresh in your minds for many years.

Come and enjoy endocrinology at the International Congress in Rio de Janeiro in 2008. We look forward to welcoming you.

Yours sincerely,

Amelio F. de Godoy-Matos
