We are pleased to announce the 15^th Meeting of European Society for Dermatology and Psychiatry which will take place in Roskilde.

The theme of the ESDaP 2013 Conference is

Mind the skin - the hard facts

which reflects that the conference will deal with many aspects of the challenging interface between the skin and the mind, from neuroimmunology to the psychosocial and cultural aspects of appearance. The varied programme is aimed at attracting participants from numerous backgrounds, while maintaining a focus on the clinical consequences of psychodermatological problems.

The venue of the conference is Roskilde Congress Centre. Roskilde is an ancient city dating from the Viking age. The most important historical sights are the Viking Museum and Roskilde Cathedral. Roskilde offers a refreshing, unpretentious atmosphere with its markets, galleries, museums and beautiful water front. The city has a flourishing cultural life as well as an ancient historical environment with its stunning UNESCO world heritage Cathedral and other places such as the famous Viking Museum.

Roskilde is easy to reach using Copenhagen Airport with numerous international flights. The train ride from Copenhagen to Roskilde is approximately 20 minutes.

We hope to provide an inspirational multifaceted setting in which different specialties will be able to contribute, and create an active networking environment. We hope that you will join us for three days of high level scientific presentations and knowledge sharing, creating a platform for future collaboration.

We look forward to welcoming you in Denmark!

On behalf of the organising committee,
