Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to the 36th Annual Scientific Meeting of European Underwater and Baromedical Society (EUBS 2010) which is going to be held in Istanbul, Turkey between 14th and 18th September 2010. Our aim, with your valuable contribution, is to organize a scientifically and socially memorable meeting. The scientific program will cover a broad spectrum of topics in diving and hyperbaric medicine. Basic sciences, experimental and clinical works, and technical aspects of baromedicine will all be welcomed. In addition to our scientific exchange, we will have the opportunity to meet with old friends and make new ones. We hope that you will enjoy the meeting, appreciate the scientific sessions, and also enjoy the unique ambience and hospitality of this wonderful city which has so much to offer. Istanbul is a centuries old city located on the Bosphorus strait, connecting Asia and Europe. It was the capital of three empires; Roman, East Roman (Byzantine), and the Ottoman Empire. Historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985. The city is also known as “The City on Seven Hills” since the historic peninsula was built on seven hills, each bearing a historic mosque. Elected as the European Cultural Capital 2010, Istanbul is unique with its location, cultural and historical heritage, several palaces and monuments, museums, bazaars, blending with modern architecture, heavenly shopping centers, all sort of restaurants, pubs, clubs, and friendly wine houses. We will try to make EUBS 2010 a great personal experience for all of you, as well as a scientific pleasure. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are looking forward welcoming you in Istanbul, at the EUBS 2010. Come and join us!
