XXII World's Poultry Congress

The Turkish Branch of World's Poultry Science Association is very pleased to invite you to the XXII World's Poultry Congress which will be held in Istanbul from 8 June 2004. 

We chose Istanbul as your Poultry Congress city because it is the only city built on two continents, where east meets west. Istanbul stands on both sides of the Bosporus where the waters of the Black Sea mingle with those of the Sea of Marmara. This ancient city is a mixture of the past and present, old and new, modern and traditional, with museums, churches, palaces, mosques and bazaars. 

In addition to the unique historical and cultural background, modern hotels, exclusive restaurants, nightclubs and shopping centres make Istanbul an unforgettable conference location. 

The scientific program will update information on all fields of poultry science. The basic scientific program will consist of invited speakers, oral presentations and posters on various selected topics. Currently two plenary and six simultaneous sessions are planned for each day. 

We look forward to your participation in the scientific program.

• Call for abstracts: 1 March 2003
• Deadline for abstract submission: 1 September 2003
• Please visit our webpage for more details: www.wpc2004.org

We hope that you will take advantage of the opportunities to participate and we look forward to seeing you in Istanbul in 2004.

Professor Servet Yalcin ,Chairperson of the Scientific Committee of XXII World's Poultry Congress.
