Following an application process, ESDR invited approximately 25 gifted young scientists from dermatological departments in Europe. This meeting followed the very successful academies held in Cascais (2011) and Barcelona (2012).
The meeting brought together renowned scientists from dermatology and basic science with the brightest young dermatologists working in the field over the past year. All attendees gave oral presentations and poster presentations of their work and there were lectures by invited scientists (experts in the field) that complemented these presentations. For 2013 the general topic was “Challenges in Skin Biology”.
The goal of the Academy is to foster excellence in academic dermatology and to encourage young gifted dermatologists to further pursue their academic careers through guidance and mentoring of established scientists. Besides scientific sessions, there is a strong emphasis on encouraging young people to network and to exchange ideas.
The 2013 ESDR Academy for Future Leaders in Dermatology was supported by Celgene, Pfizer and Roche Germany. We thank these companies for their continued support of our educational programs.
