European Congress of Radiology ECR 2023

Dear colleagues,
Dear friends,

This July, it was with the utmost pleasure that we organised the very first summer ECR in more than 30 years under the outstanding leadership of ECR 2022 President Prof. Regina Beets-Tan. The congress marked an important step towards a multidisciplinary approach to patient care and was an unforgettable return to an onsite meeting experience.

Although we have had overwhelmingly positive remarks from attendees at ECR 2022, the feedback that we have collected from our stakeholders also indicates that many would prefer future ECRs to be again held in March instead of July due to the clash of commitments that arise during a summer meeting. Alongside others, our industry partners have also expressed a considerable desire to move the dates of our annual meeting back to March.

The ESR carefully listens to all congress participants. ECR is and has always been about you, the attendees, and the countless opportunities for learning, networking, and socialising that are available when you join your colleagues in radiology once a year in Vienna. Creating a hybrid meeting, accessible both online and onsite will always remain a priority for ECR. However, going forward we also want to ensure that the opportunity to enjoy an onsite meeting experience is available to as many attendees as possible. In addition, it is vital that we have the continued support of our industry partners.

With this in mind, we are pleased to announce that the ESR office has successfully renegotiated the dates of ECR 2023 with our congress venue, the Austria Center Vienna.

ECR 2023 will now take place on March 1-5, 2023.

Both abstract submission and congress registration will be opened shortly. You will receive information on these key events very soon.

We would like to thank all those who shared their feedback with us and for your understanding in this matter.

We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Vienna, sooner than expected, on March 1-5, 2023, where we will celebrate ‘The Cycle of Life’ together.

Sincerely,
ESR Board of Directors
