The 18th International Conference on Behçet’s Disease took place between 13/09/2018 and 15/09/2018 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands under the auspices of the International Society for Behçet’s Disease. The conference was organized by Jan van Laar (President of Congress) and Martin van Hagen (Vice president of Congress) of the departments Immunology and Internal Medicine at Erasmus University Medical Center.

The international conferences on Behçet’s Disease are always a main event for physicians and researchers interested in Behçet’s disease. The contributors provide top oral presentations and poster sessions of accepted abstracts on a wide range of topics including basic immunology, genetics and clinical innovations. Meet-the-expert sessions will give young physicians an opportunity to share experiences with experts in the field. Extra breakfast and lunch sessions will allow those interested in development of new therapies to gain knowledge and contacts. To challenge our honorable members we will invite distinguished speakers on the topics innate immunity, genetics, clinics, including innovative therapies.
