The period from February to May is a busy time for ECHAMP.  Our annual Membership Assembly and Workshop, always held on the last Monday and Tuesday of April, is one of the main activities of our year. This year our 70 or so participants will discover, many for the first time, a young and beautiful country, Slovenia. From this year on, we are also adding to our agenda 10 April, Hahnemann's birthday, celebrated this year in Brussels as the first EU Homeopathy Day. In May, the 63^rd world congress of the Liga Medicamentorum Homeopathica Internationalis, will take place in Ostend, its headline 'Evidence Based Homeopathy'. The presentations - some of them by representatives of national competent authorities - and discussions will deal with quality, safety, efficacy and availability of homeopathic medicinal products. We look forward to busy but interesting weeks.
