Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we invite you to attend Fourth Croatian
Congress of Microbiology with International Participation scheduled for September
24-27, 2008 in Zadar, Croatia.

The programme committee will design an interesting programme with keynote and
section lectures and poster discussion. All important aspects of microbiology will be
covered.

All our previous congresses were organised at the Adriatic Sea: in Opatija, on Brijuni
islands and in Poreč. This time, we will enjoy the natural and cultural beauties of
Zadar, Dalmatian second largest city. Zadar is one of the most beautiful and dynamic
cities in Dalmatia. It offers an abundant spectrum of cultural and natural highlights
and is surrounded with three national parks: Paklenica, Kornati and Krka. During the
social part of the Congress we plan to visit at least one of them.

Colleagues interested in virology are also invited to participate Federation of
European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) supported workshop Adenoviruses
– Basic Biology to Gene Therapy that will precede the Congress. The Workshop
will also take place in Zadar and its Organizing Committee has secured a
FEMS young scientist meeting grant (www.hmd-cms.hr/adenoviruses).

We hope you will join us for four days of learning and experience the excitement and
the fun at the Congress.
