It is a true pleasure to welcome you to the 16th Annual European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) meeting in Vienna - the largest city in and the capital of Austria. The theme for this meeting, “Enthusiasm Complements Experience and Evidence in Pressure Ulcers” nicely reflects the essential mixture of devotion and passion that are needed for treating difficult wounds, and the level of knowledge in basic as well as clinical sciences that is required from us, as a community, to prevent, diagnose or treat such wounds successfully. The Scientific Committee and local organizers have worked very hard to develop a programme that brings to you the cutting-edge in developments at research laboratories and in clinics worldwide. With well-known international speakers from across Europe, the US and Canada, free papers, student papers and poster sessions, as well as several industry-supported symposia, one can in fact enter the breadth and depth of the pressure ulcer problem over the three days of the conference. We are again thankful to our industry partners for their long-time support of our conferences, and as always, you will have a chance to hear about the latest developments at their end at the exhibition and during our “meeting the industry” sessions. The outstanding collaboration with our industry partners would not have been made possible without the hard work of the EPUAP Business Office, which raised the funds through industry contacts and advertised the meeting as they have done for the last sixteen years. Apart from the excellent scientific program, the industry exhibition and the informal discussions with colleagues, we very much hope that you will find the time to enjoy the city of Vienna. Vienna has some exceptionally unique medical as well as musical legacies. For example, it is the city where geniuses like Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler have sowed the seeds for modern clinical psychology, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms created music that will likely accompany the human kind forever. Indeed, there could be something in the city of Vienna which inspired all of this creation – and hopefully will also inspire our joint work as we gather together to celebrate our 16th EPUAP annual meeting. The 16th EPUAP meeting is held in close collaboration with the APUPA organization in Austria. The APUPA team was considerably involved in the development of the scientific programme, and hence the inclusion of German lectures with simultaneous English translations which describe, in the spirit of the theme of this meeting, the enthusiasm in German-speaking countries and the achievements that they have made in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. The EPUAP and APUPA cordially welcome you to this year’s meeting, and wish you a fruitful and enjoyable conference, and a great stay in Vienna!
