14 September 2022 A successful #ERSA2022 Congress, both online and onsite! Dear Colleagues, We are proud of the #ERSA2022 success and especially of the opportunity given to all our colleagues, who could not join us in Pécs, to present their research at our unique ERSA Congress platform. Whether online or in person, sharing our work is definitely a must and we will always do our utmost to provide the best opportunities and visibility for our researchers. The programme of Keynotes and Roundtable Sessions as well as parallel sessions was of high quality and appreciated both by online and onsite participants. These sessions as well as all parallel sessions are now available on the virtual platform for all congress participants. If you did not have the chance to be part of ERSA2022, we will be delighted to share all the keynote lectures and roundtables on our YouTube Channel library. With this review, we would like to thank once again all our participants, speakers, and attendees, and all the staff who contributed to the event.
