It is my privilege and a great honor to invite you all to the 24th EMN Congress in Warsaw, the beautiful capital of Poland, a town which is permanently reinventing itself, a place where tradition and modernity harmoniously blend together.
From the very beginning, I would like to express my gratitude to our Honorary President Prof. Zbigniew Czernicky and to the President of the Congress, prof. Waldemar Kozsewski for their extraordinary efforts to offer the most appropriate place for our 24th EMN Congress, the Staszic Palace, a seat of Polish Academy of Science.
The coordinates which stood at the forefront of the foundation of EMN, namely Collaboration, Science and Friendship (CSF) on a ground of multilateral and multidisciplinary approach made it possible for us to reconvene each year with uninterrupted continuity for 24 years now.
As it was stated by the founders of EMN, there is no other way in modern medicine than multidisciplinary collaboration, searching for solutions together, research, education and development in multidisciplinary teams.
Beyond professional collaboration, this academy offers the chance of establishing long-lasting friendships, which grants EMN a particular place, confers it a certain individuality in the landscape of international academic societies. And for this, I can only be grateful towards the founders and also all the members of this Academy.
I am looking forward to welcoming you in Warsaw 23-25 May 2019.
