Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure and honour to welcome you to this website.

After the success of our recent Congress in Krakow, the preparations for the 19th SIETAR Europa Congress to be held in Tallinn, Estonia, are underway. I am really proud that we are holding this event for the first time in Estonia.

For the first time we are making a very special pre-registration offer:pay a 50 Euro deposit now and we will GUARANTEE you will pay the lowest price for admission; this will be 100 Euros less than the early bird price. Closing Day May 31st 2012. Plus the chance to win a free place - one was already won at the congress. Click here for details

The dates for the event are: 
Wednesday, May 22 to Sunday, May 26 2013

The working theme of the congress is 'Global Reach, Local Touch'promoting the need for inclusionary thinking, the valuing of diversity and the synergistic performance of people working together across the globe - reflecting the reality of our everyday lives.

Different from before, this event will be a 'glocal' congress where we will be using the latest technology to be wired to the rest of the world for broadcasting and receiving live presentations from partner organisations across the globe. We will have live interaction from our audience via Twitter, Facebook, etc. There will also be TED-style presentations and workshops.

Similar to the previous events there will be closed meetings, committee meetings and plenary sessions. Once again we will have a chance to discuss the most important issues, new research data and exchange ideas.

Tallinn, one of the most beautiful cities in this part of Europe, is a dynamic and radiant city that features stunning architecture and a vibrant cultural life. You will have plenty of touring and shopping opportunities to take advantage of in the city. In 2011, Tallinn was the European Capital of Culture. Take time to wander through the Tallinn's many historical landmarks and enjoy the grace of scenery. It's a little-known city with a big heart. 

I will be delighted to welcome you to Tallinn in May 2013.

On behalf of the Congress Organizing Committee 

Kind regards,

Debby

President of SIETAR Europa
