Dear colleagues,

It is with pleasure that we announce the 12th Symposium on Saliva. The ambition of the symposium is to discuss all aspects of saliva and salivary glands in a friendly atmosphere. We hope to bring together people from science, industry  and dental practice, to exchange information and benefit of each other’s  knowledge. Inspiring keynote lectures will be followed by shorter presentations of participants.

Venue

We look forward to welcome you in hotel Zuiderduin in Egmond aan Zee. Hotel Zuiderduin offers a professional ambiance for the symposium, but don’t forget to enjoy the excellent food and the luxurious facilities. Egmond aan Zee used to be  a small fishing town that has turned into one of the major Dutch tourist resorts without losing its small scale appearance. When you take a walk at the beach or in the dunes it is hard to believe that you are only one hour from Amsterdam and its world-famous musea or Schiphol, one of the main European Airports.
