Dear Colleagues and Friends, The Organising Committee announces, with great enthusiasm, to host the most important European event for Audiology Societies, 12th EFAS Congress 2015. We are also very happy to organize this meeting in İstanbul, one of the World's most important cities, lying between and embracing two Continents, Asia and Europe and separated with one of the World's most beautiful straits, the bosphorus. İstanbul is a splendid setting for dissemination of new knowledge and intense exchange of ideas on research and clinical practice in the field of audiology between scientists and technical executives and professionals from all over the world. The congress programme includes oral and poster presentations, plus workshops covering the most current topics in Audiology, as well as excellent plenary sessions and lectures with distinguished international scientists. On the occasion of 12th EFAS Congress 2015, we are proud and honored to invite you to İstanbul where old and new, traditional and modern, reality and mystery are harmoniously intertwined with each other. İstanbul is welcoming you and we hope that your stay will be both scientifically and personally a marvelous experience.

About EFAS The European Federation of Audiology Societies, EFAS, is a non-profit organization, formed as a federation of national audiology societies in the European countries founded about 20 years ago. The main scope of EFAS is to promote better educational and professional liaison in European Audiology, in both the academic and practical spheres. This includes grants and scholarships for young Audiology students to enable them to travel, learn and promote interchange with institutions in other countries. EFAS also develops collaboration through EFAS Working Groups which help to promote important underlying and unifying Educational, Screening and Diagnostic Audiology principles across Europe. Recent activities are particularly focusing on: • The development of a unified concept for the education and training of young people who wish to work in the field of audiology. • Implementation of new screening and diagnostic procedures in children • The improvement of diagnostics and treatment of patients with hearing impairment. The biennial Conferences are a great meeting point for our EFAS Member Countries and beyond, with an opportunity to compare and develop training programmes, and exchange diagnostic skills and concepts along with our sponsors. The upcoming congress will give a detailed overview of the current status of achievements and future perspectives in the field of audiology.
