More than 7000 delegates attend XXXI ESCRS Congress
Continuing the strong upward momentum of recent years, more than 7,000 delegates from all over the world gathered in Amsterdam this weekend for the XXXI Congress of the ESCRS.
Addressing the audience at the official Opening Ceremony, Peter Barry, current president of the ESCRS, welcomed delegates to Amsterdam and stressed the strong links between the society and the Netherlands.
“These links between the ESCRS and Amsterdam and the Netherlands are particularly strong. It was in 1982 when Cornelius Binkhorst founded the EIIC in The Hague and I understand there were 160 delegates at that congress, some of whom are still with us today. We returned in 1995 for the 13th annual congress where the number of delegates increased to 1,100 and six years later we held the 14th annual congress in Amsterdam with 2,300 delegates. Now, 12 years on, I am delighted to report that the number of delegates attending this congress is just over 7,000,” he said.
