Annual congress

European Society of Intensive Care Medicine will host LIVES 2012 in Lisbon, Portugal, starting on Saturday 13 October (with Post Graduate (PG) Courses*) and running until Wednesday 17 October 2012.

This Congress will be one of the major intensive care meetings taking place in 2012. It will feature parallel sessions including over 500 lectures, presentations, debates, round table discussions, tutorials and interactive educational sessions. Invited speakers are all well-known international experts in their field, and we anticipate having a faculty of over 250 that will participate with us.

Presentation of original research is one of the priorities of this series of Congresses and we anticipate that there will be almost 1400 oral and poster presentations of unpublished research. This combination of thematic presentations, education and discussion and debate of new data is an intoxicating mixture that will make the Congress an event which should not be missed.

We look forward to you attending LIVES 2012 in Portugal, where we will offer both an enjoyable and exciting scientific programme together with an entertaining social and cultural spectacle.
