15th EURETINA Congress
Letter from the President
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 15th EURETINA Congress, which will take place at the Acropolis,
Nice, from 17-20 September 2015.
To build on the enormous success of last year’s congress in London, the Programme Committee of
EURETINA is delighted to provide an exciting scientific programme for Nice. The meeting will once again
host many of the popular traditional features of the EURETINA programme, such as the Kreissig Lecture and
EURETINA Lecture.
Furthermore, the 15th Congress will once again host the 2nd World Retina Day. With the input of
leading national societies from around the Globe, the World Retina Day will offer delegates a thoroughly
international insight into medical and surgical retina. I personally feel that this level of international
involvement will enhance the EURETINA programme and bring the next Congress an extraordinary
opportunity for global networking.
As usual the latest developments in retina will be presented at 10 Main Sessions, while the Instructional
Courses and two days of Surgical Skills will accompany the all-day Uveitis and Retinal Detachment Courses
for delegates who prefer a more didactic approach to learning. Free Papers, Electronic Posters and Video
Presentations will once again feature with awards for the latter being presented at the Opening ceremony.
For the fifth year running, the EURETINA Innovation Award will showcase this year’s final shortlist of
innovative and creative applications to be reviewed and graded for their market potential. The overall winner
will be announced at the Innovation Award Session at the Congress and further information on how to apply is
available on the EURETINA website.
On behalf of the Board and Programme Committee of EURETINA, I encourage you to join us in Nice for
what promises to be a most stimulating and memorable Congress.
Yours sincerely,
Francesco Bandello
President of EURETINA and Chairman of the Programme Committee
