Looking back at the vEMIM 2020 | 24-28 August 2020

RECORDINGS of PLENARY & EDUCATIONAL Lectures are NOW availble via your Member Portal!

Not unexpected but with a heavy heart and much regret, the EMIM 2020 needed to be held fully virtual. Being aware that a virtual edition cannot simply replace meeting all of you in person, we can just express our sincere and proud gratitude:

On behalf of the Congress President Giannis Zacharakis and the entire ESMI Board and EMIM Committees, we would like to THANK YOU: thanks for getting through this extraordinary edition of the 15th EMIM with us. It has been “a new challenge and experience for the society”, participation and interaction exceeded by far our expectations and certainly shows the particular dedication of the community.

Without doubt, we would have loved meeting you in person in Thessaloniki, looking around the welcome lounge and recognizing exited, familiar faces but it was not meant to be. Even more we appreciate your participation and commitment and hope you have enjoyed the meeting as well.
