Aims of the European Society of Contact Dermatitis

The purpose of the ESCD is to promote interest, stimulate research, and disseminate information on all aspects of contact dermatitis and other environmental and occupational skin diseases.

To this end the ESCD arranges congresses covering its entire field every other year and supports symposia or conferences confined to themes of special interest.

"Contact Dermatitis" is the main journal of the ESCD for publication of clinical and scientific reports. The society also issues a periodic Newsletter for the benefit of the members.
