ESSR 2024
Annual Scientific Meeting
June 6-8, 2024 - Lugano, Switzerland

Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the ESSR, it is a great pleasure for me to invite you to participate at the 31st Annual Meeting of our society from June 6 to June 8, 2024 in Lugano, Switzerland. The congress venue will be the Convention Centre “Centro Congressi”, located in the Ciani Park, the green heart of our city in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland.

The scientific program will focus on imaging of the knee, with a refresh course lasting two days. Furthermore, the program will include several focus sessions organised by of the subcommittees of the Society. On Thursday June 6 the program will offer several workshops. First, the popular "hands on" Ultrasound workshops in MSK Ultrasound, second the very welcomed workshop on spondyloarthritis, third the workshop “back to the basics”, which will emphasize the conventional radiology findings in several musculoskeletal diseases, and fourth a workshop focusing on AI in imaging. In addition, in the afternoon, the Swiss society of musculoskeletal Radiology (SSSR) will organize a workshop.

The 31st ESSR annual meeting is open to welcome, both musculoskeletal and general radiologists, members and non-members of ESSR. We will focus on three main topics: investing in the youth and in next generation of musculoskeletal radiologists, increasing skills and knowledge in the field of musculoskeletal radiology, and boosting the collaborations and connections with other societies in the musculoskeletal field.

The social program will be attractive for both the participants and their companions and will be a great opportunity to meet colleagues.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all colleagues in ESSR Committees and Subcommittees as well as the local and international board members for their substantial contribution in building up the scientific program.

I look forward to seeing you in Lugano as active participants of one of the most important scientific events in the field of musculoskeletal radiology.
