We would like to thank you and express our appreciation for your contribution to our successful GREAT XVIII INTERNATIONAL Meeting!
We are also extremely pleased to share that on October 23rd and 24th we welcomed more than 100 attendants in presence. We wish to particularly highlight the outstanding presentations of the Young and Senior researchers, that also in 2025 were at the center of the meeting.
We very much enjoyed the opportunity to network and discuss current and future interdisciplinary research projects, as well as latest research findings and their implications for routine clinical care.
