OPENING CEREMONY
40th Congress of the ESCRS opens in Milan The ESCRS will continue to innovate and fine-tune its mission to better serve the interests of its members in the coming years, Prof Oliver Findl, President, told delegates at the opening ceremony of the 40th ESCRS Congress in Milan. Welcoming almost 9,000 delegates from all over the globe, Prof Findl said this year’s Congress offered a first-rate scientific programme and a wide range of symposia, courses, and wet labs covering most major fields of ophthalmology. “At this year’s Congress, we have 9 main symposia, 378 free papers, 490 e-Posters, 102 instructional courses, 104 wet labs, and a very well-supported trade exhibition with over 218 exhibiting companies taking part. In total, we have over 12,795 people on site here in Milan, which shows things are almost back to normal after the pandemic,” he said. The phenomenal success of the ESCRS has been built on a culture of innovation and a desire to keep pace with the evolving needs of its members over the 40 years of its existence, explained Prof Findl. “It is important to continually adapt and introduce new features to the Congress. This year we have introduced an iNovation Day for the first time, which is designed to facilitate greater interactivity between clinical experts and business partners in addressing unmet clinical needs within the next few years.”
