Dear Colleague,

It is our pleasure to invite you to Vichy on the occasion of the 31st European Childhood Obesity Group (ECOG 2022) congress. ECOG 2022 will take place from the 2nd to the 4th of November in Vichy, a city bursting with a wide choice of world class attractions, legendary music and culture and worldwide renowned thermal baths. This year’s congress aims to bring together childhood obesity experts and young scientists from across Europe.

The scientific programme will approach the multidisciplinary nature of childhood obesity prevention and treatment, giving the floor to some of the finest experts in policies and management strategies, dietary interventions, appetite and eating behaviours, pharmacological strategies as well and family programs and general physiology and metabolism. In addition, international associations such as the World Health Organization and the European Association for the Study of Obesity will animate and lead specific sessions.

ECOG 2022 will be an excellent opportunity to meet, discuss and share information and experiences with like-minded colleagues. It will be the perfect occasion for practitioners to share the experiences and enrich their career and for early career students and scientists to take their first step in the field, guided by international experts and mentors.

In the following months, we will provide you with more information about: ECOG board and ECOG 2022 scientific and organising committees, scientific and social programmes, congress venue and accommodations, registration forms and fees.

Tisztelt Érdeklődő!

Örömmel adjuk hírül, hogy a WonderFlora & CMT Alapítvány

„Egy lépés kezdete a CMT-vel” 

címmel webináriumot szervez a Charcot-Marie-Tooth genetikai rendelleneségről.

A Charcot-Marie-Tooth, azaz a CMT a  leggyakoribb örökletes perifériás neuropátia, amely az izomzatot irányító perifériás idegrendszer működési zavara, a mozgató- és érző idegeket érintő megbetegedés. Általában lassan kibontakozó betegség, egyénenként teljesen eltérő tünetekkel. A betegség tünete az izomgyengeség, izomsorvadás, valamint a funkció és érzékelés elvesztése a végtagokban. Jelenleg több mint 3 millió embert érint világszerte, Magyarországon 4000 beteget tartanak számon. Fontos, tehetünk azért, hogy jobb legyen az életminőségük.

Az esemény időpontja: 2022. október 29.
Időtartama: 9.00-10.45.
Helye: Online 

A webinárumon való részvétel ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött. Az itt elérhető regisztráción megadott email címre küldjük a konferencia belépési linkjét.

Az első szakmai online webináriumunk CMT témakörben. Célunk, hogy lehetőséget biztosítsunk újabb információk megszerzésére mindazoknak, akik Charcot-Marie-Tooth-szal élő személyeket segítenek, legyenek akár családtagok vagy szakemberek. Várunk minden CMT-vel diagnosztizált (vagy még nem diagnosztizált, de CMT tüneteket produkáló) érintettet.

A CMT, azaz a Charcot-Marie-Tooth diagnózisát nem könnyű felállítani. A végleges diagnózis alapját a klinikai tünetek, a családi kórtörténetek és a diagnosztikai vizsgálatok képezik. A webinárium rálátást biztosít a CMT genetikai hátterére, bemutatja az első legfontosabb diagnosztikai vizsgálatokat, továbbá megoldást nyújt a CMT-vel járó tünetek romlásának lassítására.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Congress of the European Association of Dermato-Oncology (EADO) is now a very well established scientific meeting, and has participants not only from Europe, but from all continents of the world. It is the largest congress in dermato-oncology and there are no competing congresses in this field.

The 18th EADO Congresswill be hosted in the amazing city of Seville, Spain and will be a hybrid event comprising both an in-person conference and a virtual conference. We believe it will be one of the first congresses where face-to-face meetings will once again be possible.

Each EADO congress brings with it a special area of emphasis and Seville has a clinical focus on both the early diagnosis of skin cancer and dermatosurgery as part of the integral approach to skin cancer patients. Consequently, the promising therapeutic landscape that the increasingly conservative surgery and the latest breakthroughs in immunotherapy and targeted therapy bring to skin cancer patients will be comprehensively discussed in Seville, with also special attention to dermoscopy and other diagnostic technologies.

Compared to previous congresses, there is a balanced offering of topics on melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.

The best experts worldwide have been invited as speakers and will offer you the opportunity to gain a comprehensive insight into all areas of dermato-oncology.

Some cities blast you away, others slowly win you over. Seville, the host city, disarms and seduces you. Its historic center, lorded over by a colossal Gothic cathedral, is an intoxicating mix of resplendent Mudéjar palaces, baroque churches and winding medieval lanes. Flamenco clubs keep the intimacy and intensity of this centuries-old tradition alive whilst aristocratic mansions recall the city’s past as a showcase Moorish capital. But while history reverberates all around, Seville is as much about the here and now as the past. It is about enjoying warm afternoons and evenings eating tapas in a buzzing plaza.

Join us at the 18th EADO Congress! We are convinced we will all enjoy this opportunity to gain the highest scientific knowledge in the field, surrounded by the most colorful Spring ever, Spring in Seville.

Warmest regards,

Prof. Dr. David Moreno-Ramírez                                   Prof. Dr. Claus Garbe

Geneva Health Forum, 3^rd to 5^th May 2022: "Covid-19 Pandemic and Environmental Emergency: Reinventing Global Health in Times of Global Changes"

The Geneva Health Forum (GHF) brings us together around major global health issues. It gives a voice to actors from the field and bridges them with policy-makers present in Geneva. It gives visibility to innovative, accessible and sustainable practices and tools and to important initiatives. After more than 15 years of existence, the GHF has become a crucial event in the field of global health.

For its ninth edition, which will take place from 3^rd to 5^th May 2022, the Geneva Health Forum will address crucial issues for our future. Under the theme “Covid-19 Pandemic and Environmental Emergency: Reinventing Global Health in Times of Global Changes”, the GHF will help us learn the lessons from the Covid-19 crisis and better understand the impact of environmental degradation on human health.

Indeed, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted our fragility as societies in the face of zoonoses, diseases that appear in the animal world and that can spread to human beings. Biodiversity loss and fragile ecosystems are factors that worsen this risk. Pollution and climate change are already having an impact on our health.

One thing is clear: our health is intrinsically linked to the health of the environment and global health must be revisited in the light of these implications. A paradigm shift is needed.

The Geneva Health Forum will provide a platform to help us better understand these issues and discover initiatives that can offer possible solutions.

Learn more about the thematic and discover the preliminary programme!

True to its spirit of networking platform, the GHF 2022 will be held face-to-face at the Geneva International Conference Center (CICG). In order to allow our public who cannot join us to participate in the event remotely, we will broadcast a selection of panels on a digital platform.

Finally, the GHF will offer the opportunity to visit the Global Health Lab, our innovation fair, where more than 100 innovations will be present. The booths of our partners and our contributors will welcome you to discuss on many themes and the scientific posters selected for you await you both on site and on our digital platform.
