In April 2002, the 20-year anniversary of the first successful culture of Helicobacter pylori was celebrated. This microorganism causes gastritis,
which is one of the most common infections in the world. Shortly after the first reports about the bacterium in the Lancet in 1983, the European Helicobacter Pylori Study Group (EHPSG) was established. In 2001, this association was renamed the European Helicobacter Study Group (EHSG) to signify that there are more Helicobacter species than just pylori.

Sweden has been honoured with the stimulating and challenging task of arranging the 16th International Workshop of the European Helicobacter Study Group. It will take place in Stockholm, September 3-6, 2003.  The venue for this meeting will be Stockholm International Fairs.

The purpose of this letter is to enquire if your company is willing to support the meeting with educational grants or other forms of sponsorship, to make it possible for us to invite and to cover costs for travel and lodging for the most prominent lecturers and chairpersons for our main sessions.

We plan for massive participation not only from EU countries but also from Eastern Europe, North America and Asia – parts of the world from which participation has increased markedly during the past few years.
Needless to say, participation of large numbers of interested GPs, clinicians and researchers from all over the world will create wonderful business opportunities for your company.

For educational grants and other forms of sponsorship, please contact the Secretary General of the workshop, Lars Åke Pellborn by phone:
+46 (0)705 285 345, or e-mail: lars.ake.pellborn@telia.com 

More details of the scientific program of the meeting, sponsorship options and the commercial exhibition can be found in attachments to this letter. You can also visit our web site www.helicobacter.org
