IFCC President’s message

Greetings to everyone in the IFCC family!

We are now only days away from the IFCC-EFLM WorldLab/EuroMedLab Congress in the fabulous city of Rome and the IFCC Executive Board is very much looking forward to meeting thousands of delegates, corporate representatives, exhibitors and visitors expected to attend this very important and popular event. As mentioned in my previous message in April, the XXV IFCC-EFLM WORLDLAB-EUROMEDLAB CONGRESS will set the all-time record in attendance with over 9000 people expected to be in Rome during the 5 day event.

The IFCC Organization, in collaboration with EFLM, SIBioC, and MZ Events, is also delighted to present a exciting new prospect for laboratory professionals and scientists. Those unable to travel to Rome can still participate in the Roma 2023 WorldLab/EuroMedLab Congress virtually, granting them access to the remarkable scientific program that has been meticulously crafted. Registered participants will have the opportunity to attend all symposia virtually from May 21st to May 25th.

In order to provide equal access to laboratory professionals and young scientists/trainees from around the world, we are pleased to announce that virtual registration for this significant event will be available FREE of charge for attendees from low- and middle-income countries (as defined by the World Bank). For individuals from high-income countries, a nominal fee will be applicable for registration. This initiative will ensure inclusivity and widespread participation in the event. It will also lead to much greater and broader dissemination of educational opportunities offered by IFCC and its regional federations; ultimately benefiting countless more laboratory professionals and trainees globally.

The IFCC Executive Board is thus pleased to warmly invite those who are unable to attend the event in person to register for virtual access. By doing so, you can fully benefit from the robust scientific program meticulously organized for the Roma 2023 Congress.

I am also pleased to remind you that following this year’s congress in Rome, IFCC has planned a major international congress each year, one year in Europe (the EuroMedLab) and the following year in another region around the World (the WorldLab). IFCC and its regional federation and national society partners are already hard at work to organize the 2024 WorldLab Congress in Dubai and the 2025 EuroMedLab Congress in Brussels. Delegates attending the Rome Congress will have access to further information and preliminary programs for these upcoming congresses.

Eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to meet many of you in Rome at the end of May. I am certain you will relish and be impressed by the exceptional scientific program and the stunning beauty of Rome during the upcoming congress.

See you soon,

Prof Khosrow Adeli, IFCC President
