Welcome Address | The President

My dear guests, colleagues, and friends!

It is a great pleasure for me to invite you to the 38th annual meeting of the Cervical Spine Research Society – Europe. This meeting will serve as an open platform for highly academic and personal discussions, and I have no doubt that it will be a most memorable meeting for all.

Acknowledging the rapid evolving field of new technologies like artificial intelligence, this meeting will highlight interesting insights into the question where and how new innovations can impact our clinicians and our treatment of cervical spine disorders.

On behalf of the CSRS – Europe I want to thank all our guests, colleagues and industry partners for their support and continued efforts to facilitate a high-quality academic meeting focusing on cervical spine related research, education, and academic expert exchange. We are convinced that this year’s programme will once again, stimulate surgeons’ thinking and discussions.

The opportunity to meet colleagues as well as the meeting’s scientific content are key success factors of our annual meetings. The huge efforts of the CSRS-Europe board together with our local host in Stockholm to provide a high-level program will lead to a successful meeting. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy a fruitful meeting and have a very pleasant stay in Stockholm.

Use the time to meet and exchange with your peers, discuss controversies with your colleagues, and chat with your friends! Among the research related enrichment, this is what makes this kind of meeting so precious and memorable to our Society.

Heiko Koller
President of CSRS – Europe
