28th EVER CONGRESS 9-11 October 2025 Florence
October 9 - October 11
28th EVER CONGRESS,
which will be held in florence on October 9-11, 2025.
oneEVER is the leading ophthalmological research association in Europe which covers all areas of ophthalmology and the visual sciences. It can be considered as a bridge between basic scientists and clinical eye research of ophthalmology (including retina, glaucoma, cornea and ocular surface, oncology, pediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, neuro-ophthalmology and lens disorders). It is mostly interested in translational research within all areas of ophthalmology and the visual sciences. This is being introduced during congress annual meetings, where the best researchers and ophthalmology clinicians are present. It is essential for EVER that these congress meetings are attended by delegates from all over the world.
We are particularly pleased to welcome you to the city of Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance of Arts and Science, and which still today is a cutting-edge city for science, culture, hospitality, and beauty. With such an important cultural and scientific heritage, with its pleasant Mediterranean climate, Florence is the ideal place to host the 28th EVER Congress.
The venue Palazzo degli Affari, designed by the architect Pierluigi Spadolini, is an elegant and modern congress center overlooking Piazza Adua, located in the city centre, surrounded by hotels and very easy to access. It is close to the high-speed train station and only fifteen minutes away from the city’s airport.
I am convinced that EVER and this excellent venue will initiate or reinforce fruitful collaborations between European researchers, clinicians and industry. I see my mission at EVER to connect these key elements, which will be beneficial for the better understanding of physiology, pathophysiology and treatment.
I am especially interested to offer the conference attendees a broad spectrum of unique state-of-the-art topics of all areas of ophthalmology and visual sciences giving also young investigators the chance to share their research and experience. Indeed, excellent platform or poster presentation from young investigators can get the chance to be honored by an award, which may help to boost their career path.
We are glad to announce that EVER will offer several awards for excellent contributions to the EVER conference taking place in Florence in 2025. This includes travel grants for young people under 35 and from low income countries, poster awards at least 1 per section, rapid fire awards, at least one per section, young investigator awards, at least one per section.
Thus, I invite well known researcher and ophthalmologist, early career investigators and industry to exchange on exiting projects at EVER 2025 in Florence Italy.
Sincerely,
Dr Christina ZEITZ, PhD, Research Director INSERM, Institut de la Vision
EVER President
