Welcoming Address

Dear colleagues,

The next European Meeting on Psychosocial Aspects of Genetics will be held on 6th-9th May 2006 in Amsterdam. This will be held concurrently with the European Society of Human Genetics meeting, and will include some joint sessions with the ESHG including:

  • Autonomy and decision making in genetics
  • Measuring quality in genetic counselling

The EMPAG meetings have gained a reputation as a key bi-annual event for those involved in psychosocial research as well as those providing genetic counselling, and colleagues from a diverse range of disciplines will be welcomed in Amsterdam.

We hope to meet you in Amsterdam for an exciting EMPAG-meeting!
