Past Congresses

The Congresses of the ESP are 5-day annual international pathology congresses by the European Society of Pathology and the largest gatherings of pathologists in Europe.

The aim is to provide an up-to-date scientific programme (e.g. keynote lectures, symposia, slide seminars, short courses, discussions) covering all major areas of diagnostic, translational, molecular and investigative pathology. Special emphasis will be put on both the recent discoveries and the reinforcement of close clinico-pathologial cooperation. A list of past ESP Congresses is available below.
