Dear Colleagues,
It has been 30 years since our group held its annual meeting in Belgium, so it is my great pleasure, on behalf of the European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG), to invite you to Antwerp for the 2023 Conference on September 7th – 9th.
Antwerp is the capital of Antwerp Province in the Flemish Region and the second-largest metropolitan region after Brussels. Antwerp is on the River Scheldt, linked to the North Sea, and the port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world.
There is a folklore tradition that the name “Antwerpen” comes from “hand werpen”, Dutch for “hand throwing”. A giant called Antigoon is said to have lived near the Scheldt and demanded a toll from passing boatmen. He cut off the hand of anyone who did not pay and threw it in the river. Eventually, the giant was killed by a young hero Silvius Brabo, who chopped off the giant’s own hand and flung it into the river.
Antwerp is notable for its great painters. Peter Paul Rubens is one the most famous Flemish painters. He had many apprentices working in his studio (now known as the “Rubenshuis” museum), including the young Anthony Van Dyck. It is during that time, that the two altarpieces currently exposed in the Cathedral of our Lady in Antwerp, were produced.
Antwerp is also a rising fashion city and famous for its local products and diamond district.
Our venue is located in the heart of the city next to the Antwerp zoo, which is one of the oldest zoos of Europe, and near the Central railway station. The conference diner will be held at the Horta Art Nouveau Zaal where you will be immersed in fine delicacies, that Belgium is known for.
The EHMSG 2023 meeting promises to be scientifically inspiring, highlighting the latest developments from the Helicobacter and Microbiota field by outstanding researchers and clinicians from all across the world.
I look forward to seeing you in Antwerp in September!
With my best wishes,
Annemieke Smet
President of the European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group

Dear Colleague,
The European Society of Pathology (ESP) together with the Faculty of Pathology, Royal College of Physicians, Ireland are looking forward to welcoming you all and extending a ‘Cead Mile Failte’ (100 thousand welcomes) when you join us in Dublin, Ireland for the European Congress of Pathology (ECP 2023), September 2023.
Ireland has been traditionally renowned for its history in education, being affectionally known as the “The land of Saints and Scholars”, and the congress organisers are delighted to have the honour of hosting this first class international educational event whilst providing an environment for the sharing of knowledge, innovations and experiences that will enhance the activities of the world-wide pathology community for the benefits of all our patients.
Irelands' award winning Convention Centre Dublin (CCD), located in the heart of Dublin, the largest and capital city, has an easy access to the airport, hotels, and all that the city has to offer. Hugely successful as a venue for international conferences, the centre will provide an ideal focal point for all our delegates, speakers, as well as our partners in industry. Keynote lectures by international renowned experts, a full programme of lectures, slide seminars and interactive sessions by leaders in their fields to multiple oral and posters presentations will provide an ideal opportunity for continuing professional development, networking and sharing of ideas. Integral to our programme will be sessions organised by and for our trainee pathologists encompassing important and cutting edge advancements in pathology practise, important for their future pathology careers.
Our motto for the ECP 2023, “Pathology – a bridge between Science and Medicine” acknowledges the significant changes that practising pathologists have made and continue to make to their daily practise so as to ensure that new beneficial diagnostic and technological advancements are embraced and integrated into everyday practise for the benefit of all patients. The meeting will reflect the extremely dynamic development in the field of pathology and update on these advancements through the excellent programme prepared by the ESP working groups, ESP-affiliated Societies, Education and Trainee Subcommittees.
Boasting a rich history embedded within its numerous museums and historical buildings, strong literary, theatrical and musical traditions, as well as including a wide choice of restaurants, ‘pubs’ and entertainment venues, Dublin will provide a welcoming city for all. We hope that through the multiple social events and activities here in Dublin, both organised by the congress and arranged on your own, you will experience first-hand the renowned Irish hospitality and experience a flavour of Irelands rich cultural history.
IASGO stands for the International Association of Surgeons, Gastroenterologists, and Oncologists that was founded in 1988 and today, has more than 1700 members from over 90 countries worldwide.
The mission of this organization is the globalization of medical knowledge and expertise through a well-structured system of continued medical education. IASGO believes that medical knowledge and expertise belong to every human being and that it has to be available beyond any discrimination, based on individual, institutional, or national level, to every patient that strives for survival because of challenging and life-threatening diseases.
We are currently experiencing an era of transition with significant innovations. Exciting scientific and technological advances are changing all areas of our lives. The recent emergency linked to the pandemic from COVID-19 has inevitably played the role of an accelerator by increasing society’s focus on health issues. As a result, new technologies and medical therapies are emerging for many diseases.
At the IASGO 2023, we will discuss recent developments in surgical oncology to improve patient care and quality standards. Molecular biology and biotechnology are also revolutionizing medicine. The management of cancers is changing through the characterization of tumor molecular biological profiles using next-generation sequencing. The future of medicine is increasingly taking shape with the latest discoveries in genetics that enable promising new directions in oncological therapies.
Understanding the specific disease in each cancer patient evoked a paradigm shift in oncology and is now opening new horizons in diagnostics and therapeutics. Progress is being made in the development of molecularly targeted therapy. Precision medicine aims to design and optimize the pathway for early diagnosis, assess prognosis, and tailor therapeutic interventions. Furthermore, artificial intelligence algorithms can now successfully predict the risk of cancers and gastrointestinal diseases.
More and more evidence suggests that lifestyle plays a fundamental role in well-being and patients’ health. Normal body weight and constant physical activity prevent gastrointestinal, metabolic, and neoplastic diseases and manage their presence. Likewise, proper nutrition counteracts chemotherapy’s side effects and helps faster recovery after surgery as demonstrated in the gudilenes of the ERAS Socieity with which IASGO cooperates.
The newly established IASGO multidisciplinary clinical trials consortium for the treatment of oncological diseases seeks to improve diagnossis and increase treatment feasibility and efficacy. It also aims to make the available treatments more accessible, improves patients’ quality of life and compliance with therapies and follow-up, and thus optimize the use of resources.
Last but not least, sustainability is becoming increasingly important in medicine and healthcare. Physicians need to be aware of eco-friendly solutions that provide high-quality care to patients while lowering costs and reducing environmental impact. Prevention, telemedicine counseling, training, and expanding healthcare coverage equitably should be the way forward.
For all these reasons and more, please join us at the upcoming IASGO Congress held at the Palazzo Della Gran Guardia in Verona between 9-12 September 2023. Verona is a spectacular city, a key part of Italian history, a symbol of art and culture in the world, and a recognized UNESCO heritage. We look forward to seeing you at this celebration of the latest medical and scientific advancements in GI cancer treatment during the IASGO 34th World Congress in the beautiful and traditional city of Verona.
The European Respiratory Society would like to extend a huge thank you to all those who attended this year. This was the first ERS Congress to offer both in-person and online attendance, and we were thrilled to see enthusiasm for both options, welcoming over 19,000 attendees altogether.
The next ERS Congress will take place at MiCo in Milan, Italy from 9 – 13 September, 2023.
DEAR COLLEAGUES,
On behalf of the French-Speaking Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (SFNCM), we would like to invite you to the 45th ESPEN Congress 2023 which will be held for the fourth time in France and for the first time in Lyon.
We would like to welcome all ESPEN delegates to the magnificent city of Lyon. Lyon is the second French city and is ideally located at the crossroads of Europe. You will enjoy discovering the city centre, the suroundings and the parks of this town as well as its two rivers (the Rhône and the Saône). Lyon is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Register thanks to its Roman ruins and Renaissance buildings. Lyon is a major city for mixing culture and art with many museums and festivals. Lyon is also the city of gastronomy and is famous all over the world for the art of fine dining. Chef Paul Bocuse was one of the world-famous chefs who put Lyon on the culinary map. In Lyon, you can discover twenty one Michelin starred restaurants, but also the famous “Bouchon Lyonnais” which are very popular restaurants that must be tested and
whose food must be tasted. Next to the Convention Center, the city park ‘Parc de la Tête d’Or’ and the Rhône River will offer you the possibility to take a walk or a run after Congress sessions.
Thanks to all ESPEN Committee members, we are happy to offer you an attractive program with new advances in the fields of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism but without forgetting education to improve our practice. Live healthY with Optimal Nutrition was our guiding thread to create this program.

Welcome Message
Greetings from World Psychiatric Association!
Together with our valued member societies & The Psychiatric Association of Austria, WPA looks forward to welcoming you to the 23rd WPA World Congress of Psychiatry in Vienna, Austria, 28th September – 1st October 2023.
There are exciting times for the practice of psychiatry as psychiatry and mental health are witnessing rapid changes, especially with the current pandemic that is placing a big impact on health care systems around the globe. Today, treatment and recovery of mental disorders go hand in hand with promotion and prevention, and there is an increased interest in rehabilitation and psycho-social interventions.
I am pleased that WPA is organizing its 23rd World Congress in Vienna, Austria, with the theme Psychiatry: current knowledge and perspectives for action.
We will examine and discuss all the crucial issues in psychiatry and mental health and are setting up an exciting scientific program with numerous sessions and lectures that convey our present scientific and technological revolution. Delegates will certainly profit from up-to-date research data, the best lectures from experts in all fields of mental health, high-quality scientific content, interaction between mental health & other health & social care professionals, patients and carers, and relevant peer-to-peer networking.
Furthermore, whether your contribution is in the field of psychopathology, biologic psychiatry, pharmacotherapy, psychiatric training, psychotherapy, social psychiatry, rehabilitation, prevention, or services organization, it will surely be an opportunity to share our knowledge.
We are particularly excited to be hosting such a significant event in Europe. The diversity of the region encourages diversity in the program, with opportunities to explore how we work in scarce resources versus high-income settings, and how we can share best practices across settings of all kinds across the world. We will review the 2017-2020 Action Plan and its themes of collaboration, reaching those living with adversity, and the rich and varying ways in which the role of a psychiatrist can be legitimately expressed. We will investigate how the time-honored approaches and the newest techniques in psychiatry – including those in psychotherapies, neuromodulation, pharmacology, digital technologies, and social therapies – can be used practically to support people affected by mental ill-health, their families and friends, and community groups. These groups will join researchers and mental health professionals to consider advocacy, planning, and policymaking across sectors to promote the advancement of psychiatry and mental health in all countries.

IBD must now be considered a global disease, so ECCO's mission is to provide the best possible care for IBD patients beyond the borders of our continent. The Congress theme for ECCO 2024 - Crossing Borders - follows from this.
In order to actively cross borders, we have already announced the Global Grant for the first time in the run-up to the Congress, which is intended to stimulate network building between ECCO member countries and IBD centres from low or lower-middle income countries. The large number of applications received shows the need and also the opportunities that can arise through such networks.
The programme has a number of borders that we need to cross. These include personalized therapy strategies, combination therapies, biomarkers but also the critical questioning of current and development of new therapeutic targets. However, we also want to take a look at the development of IBD worldwide and discuss the different perspectives on therapeutic options and strategies. Similarly, treatment limitations arise when we have younger patients in family planning or older patients with comorbidities. In addition, there are new aspects of imaging and diagnostics, as well as a critical look at clinical trials and how they compare to real world data. Additional highlights are sessions on the gut brain axis, the crosstalk of inflammation and metabolism as well as the impact of nutritional therapy from paediatric to adult care. The programme will be complemented by excellent abstracts, which will include all other innovative and current topics.
Additionally, the Scientific Programme will be live streamed and available on-demand on our virtual platform once the Congress is over.
In any case, it is worthwhile to have a look at the versatile Educational Programme and to inform yourself in time about the numerous courses such as Basic Imaging Course, IBD Intensive Course for Trainees, N-ECCO School, EPICOM Workshop, N-ECCO-Research Forum to name just a few. The more personal format of the Educational Programme allows for intensive discussion and exchange.
I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone again in Stockholm to work together towards our goal of providing better care for our patients.
