  | Dear scientist, 
 Welcome at the website of the 
4th Dutch Endo-Neuro-Psycho 
Meeting 2005, the unique annual 
meeting for the Dutch endocrinologist and neuroscientist in the broadest sense. 
This Endo-Neuro-Psycho Meeting 2005 (ENP2005) is the 9th meeting of its kind, 
which started in 1997 as the 1st Dutch Endo-Neuro Meeting, but since then has 
grown to the forum of national scientific 
exchange. A bit of its history and its success story can be found on 
http://www.enpmeeting.nl/enp/history.
 
 One of the aims of the ENPmeeting is to present the 
most recent developments in clinical and pre-clinical research in various fields 
of endocrinology and the neurosciences. The 
present 
program
again offers many exciting sessions in the fields of
basal and clinical endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, 
neurosciences and behavioral neurosciences.
To this end, many scientists, participating as 
moderators in the meeting, have organized topic-oriented sessions in which both 
internationally well-known speakers from Europe or the 
USA were invited to present their view on the future prospects as well as
junior scientists who will contribute with their 
latest results in this field. This is reflected by the 
(advised) standard format of a
session: an 30 min introduction by an established senior 
scientist combined with a number of 15 min presentations by young postdocs 
and/or PhD-students.This approach is chosen as
to create an ideal atmosphere that 
promotes interaction between junior investigators and 
established senior scientists, the important second aim of the meeting.
 
 In addition poster sessions are organized that 
are open for both young and established scientists. We would 
like to encourage everybody not only to participate but also
to submit an abstract for one of the four poster sessions at 
the ENP2005.
 
 The ENP2005 will again be held in Golden Tulip Parkhotel Doorwerth. The 
pleasant atmosphere of the conference site has  proven to be very stimulating 
for scientific and social exchange in all previous meetings, and no doubt it 
will do so in 2005. Due to the high number of participants expected, the 
organizers herewith request to make a choice for room sharing on the 
registration page, especially for 
the nights of 2 and 3 june 2005. It permits all your colleagues to be 
accommodated at the spot.
 
 Finally, the organizers would like to stress and acknowledge the important 
contribution of the session moderators: they organized the sessions and together 
they are responsible for the exciting program of this years meeting. In 
addition, the 4nd Dutch Endo-Neuro-Psycho Meeting 2005 would not exist without 
the generous financial support from our  
sponsors.
 
 We are looking forward seeing you in Doorwerth,
 
 On behalf of the  
organizing 
committee,
 
 Hanno Pijl, chairman
