The Executive Council of ESOPRS is happy to announce the future collaboration of ESOPRS with the Associazione Italiana Medici Oculisti (AIMO) as partner societies.
AIMO has about 1000 members, has a website and organizes Annual Meetings, which include oculoplastic symposia. ESOPRS looks forward to a fruitful exchange of scientific knowledge between the two societies and welcomes AIMO members to our Annual Meetings.
ESOPRS is involved in a number of sessions during the SOE 2017 Congress. A stimulating and exciting scientific programme includes a Keynote Lecture from former ESOPRS President Mr Anthony Tyers, but also other ESOPRS members and Committee Members will speak at various sessions.
It is once again expected that over 3500 delegates from over 100 countries will attend the Congress and promises to be another very successful SOE Congress.
