On March 27th, the Brussels tourism office held one of its major events, the Visit Brussels Awards. We are proud to announce that the 14th European AIDS Conference won the International Congress 2013 Award! It is the first time that a host city rewards EACS for its conference. Of course, it could not have such a successful conference without our partners, sponsors and KIT who worked hand-in-hand with us.

The European AIDS Clinical Society is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to promote excellence in standards of care, research and education in HIV infection and related co-infections, and to actively engage in the formulation of public health policy, with the aim of reducing HIV disease burden across Europe.

With the new mission statement, the Society emphasises its intention to improve standards of care in treatment throughout Europe and to engage more actively in public health policy.

The European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) notes with much concern the discriminatory legislative and police measures that reflect unjustified and harmful discrimination against gay, lesbian and transgendered persons in Russia. Article 6.21 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses allows the government to fine individuals accused of the "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations amongst minors".
