Update Symposium on Reconstructive microsurgery

A master Update Symposium on microsurgery is held every 5 years to discuss new techniques and to present new developments.

Dear Students and Alumni of the Reconstructive Microsurgery European School,

We are delighted to extend an invitation to you for the Updated Symposium on Reconstructive Microsurgery, which will take place the 22nd April 2025,  the day before the World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (WSRM) 2025 conference.

Date: 22-04-2025 (One Day Before WSRM 2025]

Location: Recinte Modernista Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona

Time: 8-17h

The symposium will be an excellent opportunity for all of us to come together and exchange knowledge, updates, and advancements in the field of reconstructive microsurgery. Since our last symposium in 2016, many advancements have been made, and we believe it is a perfect occasion, given the WSRM, to reunite students and faculty members for a meaningful and enriching experience.

Key Details:

Event Fee: To facilitate your participation, we have set a symbolic fee of €100.

Call for Abstracts: We encourage you to submit your abstracts for free paper presentations. This is a great opportunity to showcase your work and engage in insightful discussions.

Why Attend: After an 8-year gap,  we believe this is an ideal time to reconnect, share experiences, and learn from one another. The timing before the WSRM conference ensures that we can leverage the presence of international experts, making it a highly valuable gathering.

We look forward to your presence and participation, which will surely make this symposium a memorable and impactful event. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your attention, and we hope to see you there!
