Welcome to SERIN 2013
On behalf of the ENT Section of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and the Local Organising Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 9th Symposium of Experimental Rhinology and Immunology of the Nose (SERIN) in Leuven, Belgium, from 21 until 23 March 2013.
SERIN 2013 will be held under the High Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium, which underlines the importance and the official recognition of SERIN 2013 in Leuven.
This unique meeting is dedicated to basic and clinical aspects of upper airway disease, focusing on the most recent developments in research and scientific achievements in the field of upper airway diseases like allergic, non-allergic, infectious rhinitis, rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps. The latest information on pathogenesis, genetics, phenotypes, and treatment will be provided by the large and distinguished panel of experts coming from all around the globe. SERIN 2013 aims at creating a scientifically stimulating environment, with a good mixture of key opinion leaders in the field and young researchers presenting their latest data. Like in previous editions that were largely appreciated by the leading rhinologists worldwide, this meeting will encourage close interaction between research groups worldwide that are active in upper airway disease.
SERIN 2013 will be held in Leuven, a beautiful university city located only 15 minutes from the city and airport of Brussels. The remarkable University Halls of Leuven have been chosen as the venue for SERIN 2013, due to their central location in the city centre, their historic value and unique charm. The Local Organising Committee promises a meeting that meets all expectations both from a scientific and networking point of view.
