The 2024 EUPSA Congress, which concluded last Saturday, was a tremendous success, attracting a huge number of delegates from 62 Countries around the world. The Congress, under the Patronage of the Società Italiana di Chirurgia Pediatrica, was locally organised by Professor Mario Lima. Amazing and interesting full-packed scientific program (a special thank to Professor Annika Mutanen for her hard work on it). Pre-congress courses on June 12th were also fully booked. Special acknowledgement goes to the Course Directors: Martin Lacher, Prof. Ciro Esposito, Ivo de Blaauw, paul losty and Stuart Hosie. We extend our sincere gratitude to our Sponsors and Supporters for their unwavering and unconditional support. Last but not least, our appreciation goes to the local Congress Agency PLANNING CONGRESSI S.R.L. and especially Ms. Claudia Magrì who took care of every single detail with so much passion and care. Waiting to meet you in Dubrovnik 🇭🇷, May 14th - 17th, 2025

"Charity is done, not said." But we at EUPSA have decided to speak out and share this initiative with you. Aware that food is a precious resource that many people unfortunately cannot access, we have decided to join, during our 25th Congress in Bologna (June 12th-15th) the “Food for Good project”. Unused food will be collected and distributed to local non-profit organizations instead of becoming waste, thereby creating less environmental impact. In celebration of World Environment Day on June 5th, we are committed to making a difference. We are sure that you will also be happy to participate in this initiative. #eupsa #pediatricsurgery #worldenvironmentday #foodwaste #zerowaste #food #sustainability
