In June the Surgical Infection Society Europe gathers in Athens for its annual congress meeting. We are proud to announce our 2018 program, which provides the latest insight in all kinds of surgical infections. The SIS-E is know for its personal touch and its open discussions. We encourage surgical researchers, surgical residents and wound surgeons to participate in or contribute to our congress. We have the Olympics which Are dedicated to young researchers and clinicians, and the 2-day congress that gives the floor to innovative research and clinical work. Moreover, the social events give the opportunity to interact, build a network or arrange a clinical fellowship are unique, and the year in Athens.

There are more surprises than meets the eye in the busy center of Athens. Built on the banks of the ancient Ilissos river, once mentioned in Plato’s writings and still flowing secretly beneath the property’s main road, the Crowne Plaza Athens City Center is an ultra-modern tribute to Athens’ rich past and the city’s millennia of fascinating history.
