On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to the IV NeisseriaVaccines2013 and I Workshop on Meningitis and Septicaemia. Both meetings will enhance the opportunities of cross-fertilization and scientific exchange on several contact points between these fields, on the common ground of clinical, immunology, and biotechnology.

The scientific program is conceived to boost open and deep discussions of hot topics. New basic immunology Keynote addresses with oral presentations and interactive poster sessions will give a unique opportunity for exchanging ideas and foster cooperation among colleagues from academic and clinical research institutions, industry, and regulatory agencies, from developed and low income countries.

The venue, Varadero, provides a paradisiacal environment, which allows for an effective combination of science and relaxation in the friendliest atmosphere that propitiate bring the family. A short stage in Old Havana is also conceived.

We are looking forward to having the opportunity of warmly welcoming you at our International Congress on Meningeal Disease Vaccines in Varadero, Cuba.
