Dear Participants,<br />

Dear Colleagues and Friends,<br />

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Principality of Monaco and I am<br />

proud to host the 16 th World Meeting of the “Union Internationale de Phlébologie”.<br />

I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to discover or rediscover Monaco<br />

during your short stay with us.<br />

The Monaco Convention Bureau’s team, together with the travel and tourism<br />

industry partners of the Principality are at your full disposal.<br />

Please do not hesitate to challenge us for any question or request you may have.<br />

I do wish you a highly productive Congress and a very enjoyable stay with us.<br />

Kindest regards,<br />

Michel BOUQUIER<br />

President<br />

Monaco Government Tourist<br />

and Convention Authority<br />

On behalf of the French and German societies of<br />

Phlebology, we welcome you to the XVI World Meeting<br />

of the Union Internationale de Phlébologie.<br />

This congress celebrates the 50 th anniversary of the<br />

Union founded in Meyrargues , not far from Monaco.<br />

For the first time, a meeting of the <strong>UIP</strong> is organized by<br />

two countries in the capital of the third one. These facts<br />

explain the name and the logo of the meeting.<br />

The phlebological community can be proud of the<br />

progress obtained in the last fifteen years. Care given to<br />

venous patients is more and more efficient, quick, painless and durable. The incidence of most severe<br />

forms of chronic venous disorders decreases because we have treated patients earlier and better. The<br />

new electronic media have accelerated diffusion of information and international cooperation. And<br />

finally, Evidence Based Phlebology exits.<br />

This meeting will be the occasion to summarize the latest progress, to update our knowledge and to devise<br />

new research, it is the place where you will meet with colleagues and make new friends from overseas.<br />

We are certain that you will enjoy the program, the venue, the country and all the opportunities that<br />

we have planned for you.<br />

However, take some time to visit this lovely country and discover its mediterranean magic.<br />

Dr. Jean-Jerôme GUEX<br />

Chairman of the Organizing Committee<br />
