Welcome to RANZCO’s 53rd Annual Scientific Congress
The 53rd Congress sees a return to face-to-face meetings after a long and arduous hiatus. We could not be happier to have the opportunity to welcome you, not only to sunny Brisbane, but to a physical event! The excitement levels will carry over to create a Congress that is teeming with activity.
The chance to present, live and in-person, will ensure the scientific program is typified by renewed vigour with innovative presentation formats. The corridors and meeting rooms will be buzzing with chatter and the Exhibition Hall filled with the sounds of conversation, debate and discussion.
Our usual Named Lectures, Dame Ida Mann, Council, Sir Norman Gregg and Fred Hollows, will be accompanied by Update Lectures across Uveitis, Cornea, Oncology, Glaucoma, Retina and Cataract. The afternoon sessions will feature rapid fire, professional development and general ophthalmology content.
There is not much more to say except that we hope you have added the dates to your diary and are ready to see us in Brisbane in October!

ESCRS iNovation Day 2022

ESCRS to launch it’s new iNovation Day this September

The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) is proud to announce the launch of its new iNovation Day in Milan, Italy, on Friday, 16 September, 08h30-15h30 at the MiCo (Allianz MiCo) – Milano Convention Centre , immediately prior to the opening of the main ESCRS Congress programme.
This iNovation Day will bring together clinical and business experts from across Europe and other parts of the world. Sessions will focus on the most urgent clinical needs and barriers to success in anterior segment care—and how the latest technology innovations may address those barriers and clinical needs within the next 5 years. The agenda will also feature the latest developments in the European commercial and capital markets, projected 2023 innovations, regulatory changes, and reimbursement trends.
The faculty will be anchored by the ESCRS clinical leadership and will feature a balanced mix of doctors and global executives from established and emerging public and private companies. Unique perspectives will be shared by guest speakers from the European investment, regulatory and research communities.
The programme will include focused panel discussions, guest speakers, emerging company showcases, attendee trend survey results, and several networking opportunities. Full programme, registration, and sponsorship details will be released in the coming weeks, and we encourage doctors and industry to make plans to participate in this first iNovation meeting in European ophthalmology.
Kind Regards

President, ESCRS

40th Congress of the ESCRS
2022-09-16 - 2022-09-20 | Milano Convention Centre
Dear ESCRS Community
We are pleased to inform you that the 40th Congress of the ESCRS will take place at the MiCo Milano Convention Centre, Milan, Italy from Friday 16 to Tuesday 20 September 2022.

The Congress will be a primarily face-to-face event, supported by a number of virtual elements. ESCRS is proud to have been among the first international healthcare societies to return to “live” meetings in 2021 and is excited to continue in this direction in 2022.
The Congress will take place in conformity with locally applicable sanitary restrictions as of September 2022. We are closely monitoring the situation and will regularly update our community as the situation evolves over the coming months.
ESCRS has taken on board various feedback received following the 2021 ESCRS Congress in Amsterdam to the effect that there is a strong desire to refocus on face-to-face meetings, networking, satellite symposia and exhibition. Nevertheless, the virtual world has become part of our reality. Consequently, sessions will still be streamed via the virtual conferencing platform.
Last but by no means least, I would like to highlight my commitment as ESCRS President to focus on sustainability in all areas of our activities as a society. This includes our Congress and meetings. We are therefore embarking on a holistic sustainability audit and improvement programme and are confident all stakeholders in our Congress will join us in this journey.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to the ESCRS 2022 Congress and hope that your stay in Milan will be informative, educational and enjoyable!
Kind regards

Prof. Oliver Findl
President, ESCRS

This course has been created to introduce clinicians to data science and provide them with basic skills to handle data. The course aims to encourage clinicians to work confidently and effectively with their data.
Course Overview
Clinicians are confronted with data every day but often do not have the means or understanding of handling this data correctly. This course will provide delegates with hands on learning experience using tools and knowledge to make correct decisions in handling data, which will result in better quality of clinical research.
With Moorfields and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology being at the forefront of clinical research, you will be learning from world class clinicians with data science experience who will provide insights into real life clinical data from authentic clinical perspectives.
A further course – ‘Data science for clinicians: Intensive course in R‘ – is available for those wishing to further develop their skills on completion of this course. Please see the course fees section of this page for details of the discount available if both courses are purchased together.
