History
ESC has become one of the main scientific events at the Charité Medical School. Founded in 1989, at the time of major political changes at the then most prestigious medical school of the German Democratic Republic, it is today one of the largest and well-known conferences of its kind. From the onset, the idea behind the ESC was to foster a better relationship between East and West. German reunification in October 1990 created the opportunity to transfer knowledge and to create a closer relationship between medical faculties in East and West. The role of the ESC now is the support of young scientists and the advance of biomedical science on a more international scale.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
