26-29 May 2027, Genoa, Italy
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It will be with immense pride, profound emotion and a great sense of responsibility that I will welcome you to EURAPS 2027 in Genoa.
Hosting the Annual Meeting of the European Association of Plastic Surgeons in my hometown is a unique privilege. For me, this occasion will be even more meaningful, as I had the honour of being among the founding members of EURAPS and, today, I have the privilege of serving as President of the Italian Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SICPRE).
This meeting will therefore represent not only an important scientific event, but also the celebration of a long personal and professional journey shared with so many friends and colleagues throughout Europe.
Genoa and EURAPS also share a special history. In 2004, our team had the honour of organizing the Annual Meeting here, creating an unforgettable experience that many colleagues still remember with great affection. More than two decades later, we are delighted to welcome you back, with renewed enthusiasm, greater experience and the same commitment to scientific excellence, friendship and innovation.
Known as “La Superba”, Genoa is a city where history, culture and the sea come together in a unique atmosphere. Its UNESCO-listed palaces, medieval streets and magnificent architecture reflect centuries of prosperity and beauty.
At the heart of the city lies the Porto Antico, magnificently redesigned by Renzo Piano, offering a modern congress venue surrounded by hotels, restaurants and vibrant social spaces, all within easy walking distance. This exceptional setting will allow scientific exchange and personal relationships to blend naturally throughout the meeting.
Late May is perhaps the finest season to discover Liguria. Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Camogli and San Fruttuoso are only a short distance away, while the breathtaking Cinque Terre can easily be visited, offering unforgettable landscapes and authentic Italian hospitality.
Together with the Scientific Committee, the Organizing Committee and the entire SICPRE community, we are preparing a meeting that will combine outstanding science with the warm friendship and collegial spirit that have always distinguished EURAPS.
I sincerely hope that you will join us in Genoa to share knowledge, create new collaborations and renew old friendships in one of the most beautiful settings in the Mediterranean.
We look forward to welcoming you and your families to Genoa in May 2027.
Yours sincerely,
Pietro Berrino
EURAPS Local Host 2027
