It was a rocky road to get there, but seeing you all so excited, happy and grateful was worth all the effort.
Still under the conditions of the pandemic and under the impression of the military invasion in Ukraine, you have made this EMIM a flagship for friendship, peace and scientific exchange! The exclusive in-person EMIM 2022 took place from 15-18 March in beautiful and vibrant Thessaloniki, Greece.
After the pandemic-caused cancellation of the EMIM 2020 in Thessaloniki, we were so very happy to be finally back. Thanks for joining this adventure, for your trust, dedication, and patience, for all your efforts to come to Thessaloniki. It has been another challenge and experience for the society and certainly shows the particular dedication of the community.
