Update from the Chair – Ulf Gustafsson

The ERAS® Society Congress in Turin last week was a great success.

A record number of abstracts submitted, a truly international audience, and world-class speakers who inspired debate and collaboration. The event clearly demonstrated the continued growth and global reach of the ERAS® Society across all professional groups.

During the congress, members also approved an updated constitution designed to help the Society operate more efficiently and meet the challenges of growth while staying true to its mission.

As part of these organizational changes, the Executive Committee has opened several new positions, creating opportunities for both established and emerging leaders to take on new responsibilities. We would like to sincerely thank those stepping down from their roles for their invaluable contributions, and we look forward to their continued support of the ERAS® mission in the future.

Finally, we are delighted to invite you to our next World Congress, which will take place in Singapore from May 14–16, 2026.
