The Spring Meeting Dermatology in Central Europe: Proud Past and Challenging Future of the Austrian Society of Dermatology and Venereology, celebrating its 120th anniversary with many European leaders in dermatology, was held on February 26, 2010 in the Great Lecture Hall of the Vienna Old University in Vienna. The Austrian Society of Dermatology and Venereology (OGDV) was founded by Moriz von Kaposi and was granted permission by the authorities on February 25, 1890. The foundation was temporally close to that of the German Society of Dermatology, established in Prague one year before. The latter was based on the then Austrian law and strongly supported by many Austrian dermatologists including Eduard Lipp from Graz, witnessing the friendly relationship between the German speaking societies in Europe. The topic of the OGDV Spring Meeting was not only the proud past of the Society within Central Europe, but also development to the present that is boosted by the far ranging international network and intense collaboration with our European neighbors. The scientific presentation by our young academic generation highlighted the Meeting, which was concluded by a look into the future to outline the upcoming challenges and chances for further development. The world known experts were presenters at the Meeting, such as: Klaus Wolff, Karl Holubar, Thomas Luger (from M?nster, but native Austrian), Peter Petzelbauer, Lorenzo Cerroni, Alexandra Geusau, Peter Wolf, Johann Bauer, Patrizia Stoitzner, Reinhard Kirnbauer, Michael Binder, Peter Fritsch, Werner Aberer, Herbert H?nigsmann, Hubert Pehamberger, Helmut Kerl, Matthias Schmuth, Helmut Hintner, Klemens Rappersberger, Erwin Tschachler, Georg Klein, and myself, Beatrix Volc-Platzer. Stephan I. Katz, director of NIAMS at NIH, Maryland, Bethesda, USA, a world famous dermatologist, with whom many Austrian experts were on scientific education in the past, was invited as a guest. The Meeting was chaired and co-chaired by Frank Powell, EADV President Elect, Andreas Katsambas, actual EADV President, and colleagues oriented towards Austrian dermatovenereology from neighboring countries. Members and presidents from many European dermatovenereological societies were also present; there were almost 150 attendees. We can conclude that the proud past and challenging future for Austrian dermatology and venereology is continuing. One of these challenges will be the bid for the World Congress of Dermatology 2015 in Vienna. In 1892, Vienna hosted the 2nd World Congress with Moriz von Kaposi presiding, only four years after the World Fair in Vienna. At this time, as it is nowadays, Vienna was at the crossroads between the East and the West connecting European countries. Featuring a diversified history, scientific breakthroughs but also open-mindedness and modern congress facilities as the Messe Wien and, the last but not the least, an abundance of cultural options, Vienna represents an ideal venue for the next World Congress. We would be happy if you would like to support our bid! |
