From comprehensive lectures, and panel discussions, to interactive case studies, debates, video presentations and workshops, the conference will offer a diverse range of educational opportunities, that will meet the interest of all audiences and enable the exchange of best practices. Participants from multiple disciplines, such as gynaecology, paediatrics, paediatric endocrinology, psychology, plastic surgery and paediatric surgery- to mention a few- will be included.
Trainees in particular will be able to attend the 3rd Pan European Trainee Congress hosted by EURAPAG in collaboration with ENTOG.The Trainee’s day will focus on small scale learning, including a stump the professor session, as well as providing an opportunity for trainees to showcase their own research. As always the IFEPAG examination will take place immediately prior to the conference and new IFEPAG fellows will be introduced at the Opening Ceremony.
Beyond the scientific programme, we have organised networking sessions and social events to facilitate interaction between friends and colleagues, as well as sponsors and exhibitors. We encourage you to take full advantage of these opportunities to engage with fellow participants and forge new collaborations and connections.
Thessaloniki itself is a love at first sight! It is located in Northern Greece and is one of the oldest cities in Europe with a continuous history of 2000 years. It is considered the country’s gastronomic and cultural capital, and is one of the largest university campus in South-Eastern Europe. Importantly, 15 of its monuments are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. We encourage you to explore the city during your stay and immerse yourselves in the intoxicating mix of past and present.
May this conference be a memorable and transforming experience, inspiring us to contribute to the well being of young girls and adolescents throughout Europe.
We are looking forward to seeing you all in Thessaloniki.
