It was a pleasure to host the 38th annual ESOPRS meeting in Hamburg!
The meeting was attended by over 700 colleagues from 61 nations over three days. Four, for those who arrived early and participated in our trial “lacrimal Wednesday”.
In the invitational letter, we stated that “our society’s meetings have always been known to be an occasion to connect not only professionally but to make friends across borders throughout our careers”. We hope that Hamburg welcomed you in this spirit, that everyone felt this year´s meeting as being as familial as ever and that a lot of you had the opportunity to make new friends both personally and professionally.
