Dear Members of the Scientific Committee 

The arrangements for the Congress 2016 are proceeding well. We will appreciate your help to encourage submission of abstracts for the Congress, the last date being 15 March 2016. 

As at the Shanghai meeting, it is proposed to have a 2-hr free paper session on High impact trials. While the last date for submitting abstracts for this specific session is 15 June, it would be useful to know beforehand if your colleagues intend to submit their work for this session. 

We will be grateful if you can disseminate the information within your unit and to your regional colleagues to increase submissions of free papers and also for the session on high impact studies. 

Yours sincerely 

Arvind Bagga       Vera Koch        Pierre Cochat
