Krakow, October, 2018

Dear ESS Members and Friends,

Another year of our activity passed, so our Society is over 21 years old. That means we are old enough to start the full activity. Our XXII Annual Meeting in Yerevan, Armenia was successful and gathered over 350 international participants. This time thanks to the enormous efforts of the organizers the meeting was simultaneously translated into three languages: Armenian, English and Russian. Our congress has been accompanied by the 3rd European Meeting of Residents and PhD students in Surgery. We are glad to have the group of active residents with us. The most exciting part was the Quiz. This year winners were two teams ex aequo : Chieti (Italy) and Warsaw (Poland), congratulations.

We hope the activity of residents will grow up. Our Society supports young surgeons. This year 11 of them received travel grants to get Yerevan. Now we are waiting the next Annual Meeting in Varna, Bulgaria. This will be for the first time in this beautiful country. Our new President professor Rossen Madjov invites us to attend the Meeting on 4-6th of October 2019.

Hope to see all of you there.

Prof. Jan Kulig
ESS Secretary General
