Dear friends, colleagues, ophthalmologists,

It is my great pleasure to thank you for your support in 2013 and I wish you health and happiness in 2014. I and the ESVO board will work hard on your behalf in promoting continue education in a continued effort to help us all in our development as ophthalmologists.

To that aim we are co-organising our 2014 conference as joint event with the Nordic Eye group, and it will be held in Malmo, Sweden from September 4-7th, 2014. The main conference topic will be "Developmental eye disease and congenital and inherited conditions" with the main speakers being Cynthia S. Cook, Dipl ACVO and Nils Wallin-Håkansson, Dipl ACVO and ECVO. There will be a workshop and this year we are going to increase our knowledge in ocular ultrasonography under the guidance of Ernst-Otto Ropstad from the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science.

I am looking forward to cooperating with our board and all ESVO members in 2014!

Best personal regards

Jiri Beranek

ESVO president
