Successful. Rotterdam recently won the bid to host the annual meeting of the European Society for Dermatological Research (ESDR). The conference is to be held in the Beurs-WTC Congress & Event Center in 2015 and expected to attract 800 delegates. Dr Maarten Vermeer, ESDR board, comments: “I think that the combination of the Beurs-WTC location, the accessibility of the city from Schiphol Airport, the relatively low costs, the image of a young and dynamic city, and the Incentive Fund played a role in choosing Rotterdam. Our own dermatological input naturally also helped us choose to organise this conference in Rotterdam.”
