16^th international congress of histochemistry and cytochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the board of the Society for Histochemistry, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the world 16th International Congress of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry (ICHC), to be held on August 30 – September 2, 2020, in Prague, Czech Republic.

The ICHC is held every four years under the auspices of the International Federation of Societies for Histochemistry and Cytochemistry (IFSHC), which continually strives to provide grounds for communication and cooperation among scientists all over the world in the areas of cyto- and histochemistry, cell and tissue biology, microscopy, pathology and other relevant fields.

The city of Prague, also known as the heart of Europe, provides easy access for scientists from all over the world. The congress venue, Cubex Centre Prague which offers technologically and visually unique space, promises to leave everyone with an unforgettable experience. Of course, Prague prides itself with its beautiful historical architecture, technical monuments, celebrated cafés, great food, and beer. This will be underlined by the ICHC gala dinner in the famous Art Nouveau Municipal House, and a free beer party organized in the premises of the Staropramen brewery.

We hope that you will join us in Prague to discuss together your latest achievements and that the venue will provide great opportunities for specialists at all levels of their career, bringing lots of opportunities for strengthening international collaborations. Special attention will be therefore given to the presentations of students. We also expect a rich commercial exhibition where new and emerging technologies will be presented.

Looking forward to meeting you in Prague,

Klara Weipoltshammer, President of the SfH
Pavel Hozak, Chair of the Local Organizing Committee, Secretary of the SfH
