ESOF's European Itinerary
ESOF today is the European scientific event that everyone awaits. ESOF began in 2004 in Stockholm and since then has been held in Munich in 2006, Barcelona in 2008 and will be in Torino in 2010 and Dublin in 2012. The Stockholm success was unprecedented and has been exponential ever since.
ESOF’s uniqueness is its dual European and national structure. ESOF is European as it brings together people from all over Europe and is hosted in different European cities and yet ESOF is also very national and local, flavouring its events with a national and local touch.
