ESDR invited approximately 25 gifted young scientists from dermatological departments in Europe for a 2.5 day meeting early November 2015.
The meeting took place in Rome and followed the very successful academies held in Cascais (2011), Barcelona (2012), Florence (2013) and Madrid (2014). The meeting brought together renowned scientists from dermatology and basic science with the brightest young dermatologists working in the field in the past year. All attendees gave oral presentations and there were lectures by invited scientists complementing these presentations. For 2015 the general topic was “Pioneering Skin Research”.
The 2015 ESDR Academy for Future Leaders in Dermatology was generously supported through educational grants from Abbvie, Celgene, Lilly and Pfizer
