WPA Congress
Austria
Organiser: WPA

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.

Vienna is considered among one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. In addition to attending a high-quality scientific deliberation, you will have the chance to enjoy this beautiful part of the world which has been consistent, over the last several years, coming as one of the most favorable travel destinations for its amazing historical patrimony, culture, natural wonders, and the warm-welcoming people.

Join colleagues and thought leaders from across the globe for learning, sharing, and networking.

Needless to say, in our Congress, you will find a memorable reception, informed scientific discussions, great networking prospects, and enjoyable cultural and gastronomical events from our Austrian hosts.

We look forward to seeing you in Vienna, Austria from 28th September -1st October 2023.

European Chron´s and Colitis Organisation 19th Congress
Denmark
Organiser: ECCO: European Chron´s and Colitis Organisation

It gives me great pleasure to invite you all to the 19th ECCO Congress. We are venturing further north this time and will see each other for the first time in Stockholm on February 21-24, 2024.

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. 

Do not wait and check out the ECCO 2024 Congress website and register on time to secure your seat for our educational activities!

56th European Pancreatic Club (EPC) Meeting
Spain
Organiser: European Pancreatic Club (EPC)

Welcome to the 56th meeting of the European Pancreatic Club (EPC), a unique opportunity to interact and promote collaboration on research and study of the pancreas.
 
The event will take place in Santiago de Compostela in Spain – a historic town with a strong cultural background always keen to welcome everyone.
 
The capital of the Autonomous Community of Galicia, Santiago, was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in recognition of its multicultural nature, extraordinary conservation and monumental beauty, in addition to marking the final destination of a thousand-year-old pilgrim route: the Way of St James. Thousands of visitors come in pilgrimage every year trying to reach this finis terrae.

With such rich cultural vibrancy, university tradition, huge legacy and charm, Santiago has much to offer.

To those joining the 2024 EPC meeting, we look forward to meeting you in Santiago!
