42nd Congress of the ESCRS | 6-10 September 2024 | Barcelona, Spain Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Barcelona

After an immensely successful ESCRS Congress in Vienna in 2023, we are very excited to invite the ESCRS community to the Fira de Barcelona, one of the largest and most modern exhibition centres in Europe, at the heart of the vibrant and cosmopolitan city that is Barcelona.

This Congress will be a new opportunity to share the latest advances and innovations in the field of ophthalmology, to get to know the latest industry offerings, as well as to network with colleagues and experts from around the world.

The Congress programme will feature Main Symposia, Instructional Courses, Wetlabs, Video Sessions, Posters and Oral Presentations as well as a variety of other special interest days and sessions.

As you know ESCRS is committed to promoting excellence in clinical practice, research and education, as well as to fostering a culture of sustainability and social responsibility. We are proud to announce that the 42nd Congress of the ESCRS will continue the efforts initiated at the previous congresses to reduce the environmental impact of our events. We encourage you to join us in this endeavour and to contribute to making this Congress a green and inclusive event.

We look forward to seeing you at the 42nd Congress of the ESCRS in the beautiful and welcoming city of Barcelona.
