Dear colleagues and friends!

It is an honor and pleasure to invite you and your colleagues / friends to attend the fifth Nordic Conference on Endometriosis - this time in Denmark and allied as a pre-congress meeting (June 8-10) to NFOG 2018 (June 10-13) in Odense. This is an excellent opportunity to meet each other and participate in exiting discussions on important aspects of endometriosis in a Nordic setting.

The aim is enlightening informative sessions held by excellent speakers leading the way for us as professionals and for our patients. ++ How we improve services through different levels of management options. ++ Formation of centers of excellence for research, diagnostics, treatments, advice, and referrals within our communities. ++ The need for Nordic networks for promotion of coordinated activities. ++ In order to move this forward we need YOUR presence and engagement … from hospitals and clinics where women with endometriosis are cared for, not just from the Nordic countries, all are welcome.

We endeavor to keep costs low and at the same time ensuring that you have an enjoyable and professional rewarding time in Odense.

We start with get-together on Friday evening at a beautiful river setting in Odense and a jovial dinner to end Saturday´s proceedings. Sunday morning we look into the future – hand-in-hand and uplifted.

The NFOG 2018 congress commences later that same day. All in the great university city of Odense in the prime of summer with light nights and hopefully warm and sunny days!

Let us meet in Odense in June! Welcome and be part of new views on endometriosis.
