ICHIT 2007 will take place in Berlin. Germany is currently launching the largest European nation-wide HIT infrastructure project, coordinated by the German Ministry of Health. The system will be in its “hot” construction phase during the venue in November 2007. Major results will be visible and this will form a vivid part of an at hand scientific discussion. As Germany will preside the European Community in spring 2007, we expect the merging of interests of top-level decision makers in HIT with the best personalities in science and research at the venue.

The city of Berlin has become a fascinating and invigorating blend of old and new, east and west, slow and fast. It has become the melting pot of Europe which is heading to become a world metropolis. It is the second most populous city in the European Union with over three million people and is the home town of some of the best universities and research faculties in the world.

Berlin is also a major tourist attraction with its modern charm of new media arts. Being home to people from 180 different nations, has made it a multicultural metropolis.
