It will be held in September 20th-23th,2015 in Milan in the Centro Congressi di Milano (MICO) during the 2015 Universal Exposition EXPO, which will offer visitors a veritable journey around the world, through the cultures, histories and innovations of over 140 participating countries. The focused scientific program of the Congress will handle all aspects of cytology from A to Z. The highlights of the 39th ECC will be: Innovative technology in cytology; cytology in the multidisciplinary context; quality control; quality assessment and improvement and the requirements for training cyto-technologists and pathologists. It will be a unique opportunity to reach expert cytopathologists coming from every part of Europe and beyond, as well as several specialty audiences in one location. In addition to the most recent advances of the art, several practical cytology issues will be addressed in a number of workshops and slide seminars. I am sure that participation in this event will provide the opportunity to combine days of intense and constructive work with the possibility to establish new scientific collaborations and new friendly interactions.I wish everyone willing to participate an interesting and pleasant stay. See you in Milan.

Milan, the city selected for the 2015 EXPO, was the thirteenth most visited city in the world in 2014 and the New York Times named it the #1 place to go in 2015. It’s a city to explore and love, full of treasures and a lively night life. Of ancient roman origin, Milan has always been an interesting and vibrant city: it was one of the most glorious towns during the Middle Ages, and the home of most spectacular Italian courts during the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci arrived in Milan from Florence looking for a job and ended up staying for a long time, as well as many others did after him. Milan has a considerable part of the Italian cultural heritage and is one of the major art cities. Countless works of art are housed in Milan, and almost all can be reached on foot or by tube from the conference center. EXPO 2015 Expo Milano 2015 is a non-commercial Universal Exposition with some very unique and innovative features. The theme of Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life is of sure interest also for the biomedical engineering community. Open from May 1 to October 31, 2015, the Expo will host over 130 participants. Running for 184 days, this giant exhibition site, covering one million square meters, is expected to welcome over 20 million visitors. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN MILAN Moving around Milan is easy. Take a look at the web site of ATM. Azienda Trasporti Milanesi – ATM – is a Public Limited Company owned by the Milan Municipality and managing public transportation in an area with a population of 2.4 million people. Quite remarkable are the historical trolleys, still serving the city after a century (you might have seen one of them“on leave”to San Francisco, where they serve the F line in the Fisherman’s Wharf area). If you have a smartphone, you can download the ATM’s app http://www.atm.it/en/ViaggiaConNoi/Pages/ATMMobile.aspx, to help you navigate around. 87 39 th ecc MILAN, SePteMbeR 20 -23 , 2015 th th euROPeAN CONGReSS OF CytOLOGy HOW TO REACH THE CONGRESS VENUE BY AIR Linate Take bus no. 73 in the "National Arrivals Exit" area all the way to the terminal in Piazza San Babila.
