We want you to enjoy your stay in Berlin and will do all we can to help. We invite you to join us for a free dinner on Monday night in our beautiful ‘lecture-hall ruin’. This is the old pathology lecture-hall that was partly destroyed during WW II, has been rebuilt and is now being used for social events. This is intended as an alternative to the River Cruise in the official social programme and we hope that it will be a good opportunity to get to know each other and to make new friends. Places are limited, and we need to know in advance who is interested in joining in (students only, please!). We are also planning to organize a pub-crawl on Saturday night for all the people who arrive early. Please contact us if you’re interested in a guided tour of the Berlin nightlife. We are trying hard to find inexpensive accommodation with local students or - if there are not enough places available - in youth hostels. At the moment we are searching for local students, who are able to accommodate you and offer you a breakfast during the conference for a small contribution of 50 DM (about 15£). However we cannot guarantee that we will be able to place everybody. Therefore, if you decide to attend the conference and want to be placed in private accommodation, please let us know as early as possible (email: below), so that we can add you to the accommodation list. Please tell us your name, sex, email, address, the day of arrival and departure and if you want to attend the dinner on Monday (free of charge!)!! Please send your e-mail to: [email protected] and note: “AMEE Accommodation application” in the reference. We look forward to meeting you.

The AMEE annual conference is a focal point of the year, where members and non-members alike can meet to share ideas and to discuss problems and challenges facing them in their efforts to develop and improve medical and health care professions education in their institution. This year we have over 650 participants from 45 countries, more than ever before. Many are regular AMEE conference attendees, but every year we are pleased to see so many new faces who are keen to participate in what has become a major meeting in the medical education calendar. The main topic of this Conference “Medical Education and Standards at a Time of Change” fits very much in time and space. The international community devoted to improving medical education is looking for standards that could guarantee the training of professionals to meet health and social needs across country boundaries; therefore to find ways of overviewing those standards from a transnational standpoint, without losing sight of local needs, is more than timely at the beginning of the third millennium. The city of Berlin has undergone spectacular changes in just a few short years and is still adapting to new times, new roles and new circumstances. Berlin offers a suitable context in which to present views and experiences on medical educational changes and reminds us of the ever-adapting attitude that we all should demonstrate in order to advance and progress in the field. The Charité Campus Virchow-Klinikum of the prestigious Humboldt University of Berlin Medical School will be our meeting point and our inspiration to continue the work of the many important scientists on which the foundations of Medicine have been built. On behalf of us all I want to express my gratitude to the University for hosting the Conference. The Berlin Conference programme holds exciting plenary sessions; workshops for innovation and learning how to think about strategies to achieve our goals; all led by well-known and respected educators in Medicine and health care. Large group sessions will focus on specific issues and challenges. Short communications and posters, close to 400 in total, will give us the opportunity to present our views and work, to discuss them and finally to interact. Your attendance at the AMEE 2001 Berlin Conference is your own success and I wish you, AMEE friends, a most productive and enjoyable meeting.
