Message from the president - 2020 goes virtual

We are recognizing the difficulties of a face-to-face congress due to travelling and meeting difficulties for Emergency Medicine professionals. The responsibility of creating a safe environment has pushed EUSEM to transform the next European Emergency Medicine Congress 2020 Copenhagen into a VIRTUAL meeting.

We are working on an exciting and high-quality educational activity; combining the benefits of great speakers and update lectures, with the facility of online activities. 

With your participation, we are going to create the most prominent and outstanding virtual meeting.

Emergency Medicine in Europe cannot miss it.
