Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the International and LocalScientifi c Committees, I have the great pleasure to invite you to attend the XIth European Symposium on Platelet and Granulocyte Immunobiology to be held in France from October 21st to 24th, 2010.

To celebrate the XX anniversary of this symposium, we have chosen Beaune, Capital of Burgundy wines and City of art, as congress venue.

The Scientifi c Committees are collaborating to set up a fascinating and up-to-date program in the main areas of platelet and granulocyte immunology. Topics will range from basic science to clinical application.

We are particularly pleased that many expertsin the fi eld have agreed to join us for state-of-the-art lectures but emphasise that we will allow time for short presentations chosen from the abstracts to encourage younger colleagues to participateactively to this meeting.

The traditional industry exhibition will provide you with most interesting information and welcome you to their excellent satellite symposia.

To be in Burgundy is also a unique occasion to explore the charms and delights of the heart of France.

The congress dinner will take place in theHôtel-Dieu (Beaune Hospices), a jewel of high gothic architecture, founded in 1443.

We hope to welcome you to Beaune in October 2010.
