EPA is committed to integrating new<\/p>\n practices in its head office, congresses and promotional activities that will reflect our<\/p>\n ethos for change and eco-conscience. We believe that as a continental society EPA has a<\/p>\n voice and a responsibility not only to act but also to spread the message to our members<\/p>\n and colleagues.<\/p>\n GREEN MEETING<\/p>\n EPA and appointed congress organiser Kenes International are devoted to considering<\/p>\n environmentally friendly practice at the European Congress of Psychiatry and in all of our<\/p>\n operations. Our responsibility to our congress participants, staff, environment and society<\/p>\n is paramount in all of our decisions, policies and practices. We continue to learn and<\/p>\n strive to integrate new practices all the time. At present, here are a few of the practices<\/p>\n we have undertaken for EPA 2010:<\/p>\n \u2022 Promotional materials (including this brochure) are being printed on paper that is PEFC<\/p>\n approved. The PEFC is an organization that certifies paper manufacturers which keep<\/p>\n to sustainable forest management criteria.<\/p>\n \u2022 Reduced plastic registration envelopes.<\/p>\n \u2022 Name tags at congresses can be deposited when participants leave the meeting and<\/p>\n these will be re-used.<\/p>\n \u2022 At the congress we will recycle plastic, glass, cans and paper.<\/p>\n \u2022 Environmentally conscious offices (amongst other things, we recycle all our waste,<\/p>\n including organic waste for compost, integrated energy saving fixtures throughout the<\/p>\n building and use only recycled paper).<\/p>\n GREEN PARTICIPANTS<\/p>\n Offset your Carbon Footprint – You can contribute to our ecological efforts by<\/p>\n offsetting the Carbon Footprint of your travels to EPA 2010. A Carbon Offset<\/p>\n represents a reduction in emissions somewhere else – like a wind farm in Texas or a<\/p>\n reforestation project in Nicaragua – to balance out the emissions you cannot reduce.<\/p>\n You can learn more and offset you carbon foot print at: www.carbonfund.org<\/p>\n – 16 –<\/p>\n GENERAL INFORMATION<\/p>\n VENUE<\/p>\n ICM – Internationales Congress Center M\u00fcnchen Messe M\u00fcnchen<\/p>\n Messegel\u00e4nde<\/p>\n 81823 Munich<\/p>\n Germany<\/p>\n Tel: +49 89 9 49 2 07 20<\/p>\n Fax: +49 89 9 49 2 07 29<\/p>\n LANGUAGE<\/p>\n The official language of the Congress will be English.<\/p>\n CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME)<\/p>\n The 18th European Congress of Psychiatry is currently being accredited for<\/p>\n Continuing Medical Education (CME) within the EU-ACME programme.
