WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Colleagues,

we are very honoured by the choice of Prague as host of the 3rd World Congress of International Federation of Head and Neck Oncologic Societies. The Congress will be held in Prague Congress Centre, which is a conveniently located modern facility situated five minutes by underground from the city centre. There is a wonderful view from the lobby of the Congress Centre, which you can enjoy during the breaks between sessions.

Prague with its astonishing architecture, history and cultural heritage, numerous theatres, concerts, cosy restaurants and pubs attracts an increasing number of visitors every year. Here you can visit places where Mozart, Smetana and Dvorak composed and conducted their music, where writers like Neruda, Kafka, Seifert and Kundera found inspiration for their works.

IFHNOS and the Scientific Programme Committee established of distinguished colleagues from all around the world are warrants of the high scientific level of the Congress. We are sure that the participation in the Congress will bring you unforgettable experiences in the professional, social and cultural field.

Johann Wolfgang Goethe called Prague the ‘prettiest gem in the stone crown of the world‘. At almost every step you will be reminded of well known names of architects, sculptors, painters and other artists who contributed to the beauty of Prague.

We wish you a pleasant stay in Prague with unforgettable experiences to take back home.
Jan Klozar, Chair of the Local Organizing Committee
Jan Betka, President of the Congress
Jean-Louis Lefebvre, Congress Chairman
