The European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) (en francais L’Union Européenne des Médecins Specialistes - UEMS) was founded in 1958, one year after the European Economic Community (EEC). It is the official representative body of all Medical Specialists to the European Commission. The EUMS is composed of working medical specialists who are delegated by the professional bodies of their own countries. The organization consists of an Executive Committee and 37 specialist sections, one for every specialty recognized in at least one-third of the member countries. Some specialties, who are not entitled to create their own Section, are associated with another specialty Section. The UEMS has contacts with the European Commission, the Advisory Committee for Medical Training and the Permanent Committee.
The UEMS has no funding from the EU and relies on the receipt of fees from the professional bodies of its member countries.

Congress Theme:
The future belongs to the next generation
Dear friends and dear colleagues,
It is my privilege and honour to introduce the 31st International EAES congress, to be held in Roma in June 2023, incorporating the XXI SICE national congress. (Società italiana di Chirurgia Endoscopica…….).
In recent, unlucky times, interfacing with colleagues and friends happened through a virtual modality.
Now, we are back to the possibility of meeting in person, seeing and speaking with each other, renovating friendships, creating new personal links.
And this will happen in Roma, the city where all roads bring people from all over Europe and the World since millennia!
The congress, themed “The future belongs to the next generation”, aims to give our brilliant and enthusiastic young surgeons, space and opportunity to update, and be updated, on a wide field of minimally invasive and endoscopic cutting-edge technologies, new procedures and techniques, protocols and more.
To this end, the congress will represent a valuable platform to interact with first-class scientists through discussions, “meet the expert” opportunities and master classes and hands-on courses.
The leading role of EAES in innovation and education has been consolidated through decades and based on solid ground: Roma2023 will undoubtedly confirm and reinforce this position in the surgical arena.
We look forward to welcoming you in ROMA!

Welcome to Budapest 2023!
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
For the 9th annual congress of the European Academy of Neurology we will be travelling to the grand and beautiful city of Budapest on 1-4 July, 2023.
Located right in the heart of Europe, Budapest has always been a place where people and ideas come together and mingle. Here you can find the echoes of the Barbarians, and the Roman and Ottoman Empires, as well as traces of early Catholicism and the largest operating synagogue in Europe. Today, it attracts countless visitors from around the globe, for both business and pleasure, with its modern infrastructure and unique blend of cultural, architectural, and culinary experiences.
The city has a proud scientific pedigree too. Numerous notable researchers have called Budapest home while contributing to the development of neurology and neurosciences. Names such as Ernő Jendrassik, József Mátyás Baló, Károly Schaffer, and Georg von Békésy will surely be familiar to EAN congress participants for their tremendous achievements in the field. The Hungarian Neurological Society continues these rich traditions today, providing support and unique opportunities, not only for Hungarian colleagues, but also those from neighboring countries, with the aim of bringing together neurologists from eastern and western European countries.
As always, the EAN Congress will provide an unrivalled chance for our community to share a rewarding clinical and scientific experience. With the rich cultural tapestry of Budapest as our backdrop, we also have the ideal environment for establishing new contacts and friendships, and of course renewing old ones.

EASL School: Alcohol-related liver disease: diagnosis, risk stratification and management
This EASL school is dedicated to chronic alcohol related liver disease, covering all aspects of the patient’s journey through the healthcare system. From alcohol’s impact on citizens in the society, to early disease detection, biomarkers used in healthcare pathways from primary to secondary care, global and specialised interventions, and new innovations to improve patient management. With the school, we aim to combat the stigma and taboo associated with the harmful effects of alcohol, and replace it with fully updated and high-quality evidence highlighting the many opportunities for improving our patient’s life and health.
The format of the school based on reversed-classroom format will be a platform for participants to discuss best-practice, gaps in knowledge, opportunities and barriers towards effective healthcare pathways. The topics will center around biomarkers and interventions: (1) existing and future diagnostic, monitoring and prognostic biomarkers, their applications, pitfalls and technical concepts. (2) existing and future interventions, whether pharmacological, psychosocial, or dietary, with a discussion of barriers and opportunities for giving patients’ access to effective treatments.
School Organisers: Prof. Aleksander Krag, Prof. Maja Thiele and Dr. Mads Israelsen
EASL School: Clinical dilemmas in cirrhosis: an approach from the evidence to the decision
A dedicated clinical school on the use of concepts and skills of evidence-based care to solve controversial real-life problems in the management of cirrhosis. The course will focus on those areas of cirrhosis management where agreement is far from being settled, including use of beta-blockers and anticoagulation, TIPS to prevent recurrence and re-compensation. The course will follow a model of small group workshops to guide students through critically appraisal techniques of the evidence and its translation into practice as recommendation. The study will rely on local expertise from hepatologists and methodology researchers from the liver units of tertiary hospitals from Madrid, Spain. During the 2-day course students will have the opportunity to learn about the background of clinical controversies in this area of clinical practice. Attendees will then undertake case-based group sessions, facilitated by the faculty to understand how published research can be used in practice to develop graded recommendation/statements of the addressed clinical problems. These sessions will then form the basis of a final plenary session presented by the delegates for shared discussion with the faculty.
School Organisers: Prof. Agustín Albillos, Dr. Rosa Martín-Mateos, Prof. Javier Zamora, Prof. Rafael Bañares and Dr. José Luis Calleja.

The international classification of epilepsies recognizes a large spectrum of substrates as potential predictors of disease progression and treatment response. Reliable neuropathological and neuroimaging work-up of epilepsy-associated brain lesions represents thus an important diagnostic value for the successful management of patients with focal epilepsy. The 12th ILAE School for Neuropathology and Neuroimaging in Epilepsy will specifically address the issue to enable participants to better recognize and classify various brain lesions. We will offer an integrated approach to combine neuropathology and neuroimaging skills and knowledge. The workshop has been held previously in Germany, Brazil, the USA, and China with a focus on histopathology and the endorsement of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE). Advanced hands-on histopathology training will still be offered in small groups led by distinguished tutors but also includes hands-on skills on reformatting brain MR images. We will offer all participants use cases to further develop their skills and help integrating knowledge of histology and imaging related to the diagnosis and treatment of human focal epilepsies.
Course Directors: Fabio Rogerio, Fernando Cendes and Ingmar Blümcke
Target Audience: Neuro-/Pathologists, Neuroimager, Epileptologists, Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, and Basic Researchers at all levels of professional expertise (please indicate your level within application)

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.

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.
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.
