It is a great pleasure for me to give introductory words at the third World Congress of the European Society for Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, the International Society of Clinical Hemorheology and the International Society of Biorheology at the University Hospital Regensburg.

I am very pleased that Professor Prantl and his team have managed to bring numerous internationally renowned scientists to Regensburg to discuss a wide range of important topics from tissue perfusion to tissue regeneration with stem cells. Research in this field has the potential to fundamentally change treatments in many areas. And new imaging methods combined with AI are helping to better understand and predict processes in the body. You have come to the right place: In Bavaria, we are creating the best-possible environment for state-of-the-art medicine, from basic research to clinical application. Our Highmed Agenda as an extension of our Hightech Agenda is a clear statement: Medicine of the future is made in Bavaria! We’re investing heavily to make real headway: We want more cooperation, better translation and faster innovation in order to fundamentally improve patient care.

To do so, we are counting on you: Your congress is an outstanding platform for excellent scientists. Thank you for your initiative, your passion and your progress! I wish you all exciting congress days, stimulating discussions with new insights and a pleasant stay in the World Cultural Heritage Regensburg.

Dear distinguished colleagues and esteemed guests, on behalf of the German Society for Surgery, it is both an honor and a privilege to extend our warmest greetings to the organizers and all participants of the 3rd World Congress of the European Society for Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, the International Society for Clinical Hemorheology, and the International Society of Biorheology.
This remarkable meeting of experts in the fields of microcirculation, hemorheology and biorheology marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of knowledge and advancements in healthcare.
Our society recognizes the vital importance of these disciplines in understanding the intricate dynamics of blood flow, microcirculation, and the broader implications for clinical practice such as wound healing and tissue engengineering in the field of plastic surgery as well as trauma, vascular surgery and heart disease.
As surgeons, we are aware of the critical role that hemorheology and biorheology play in various surgical specialties. The insights derived from your research and clinical applications directly impact our ability to provide optimal care to our patients in surgery.

The collaboration between the German Society for Surgery with the profound expertise of the three societies ESCHM, ISCH, and ISB, enhances our collective efforts to push the boundaries of medical science and improve patient outcomes in different fields of surgery.

We congratulate the organizers for bringing together such a diverse and accomplished group of professionals from around the world.

This congress serves as a platform for the exchange of ideas, the presentation of groundbreaking research, and the establishment of valuable collaborations that will undoubtedly shape the future of our respective fields in research and surgery and bridge gaps between basic science research and its clinical application.

In conclusion, I extend my best wishes for a successful and inspiring 3rd World Congress of the ESCHM-ISCH-ISB.

Warm regards,

Christiane Bruns

Dear colleagues, as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, it is my honour to welcome you all to this remarkable congress, which brings together several international medical societies in your field.

It is my pleasure to witness this gathering of bright minds, their collaboration and exchange of ideas.

Our goal as medical faculties is to educate the next generation of physicians and to promote scientific excellence.

I am pleased that this congress, chaired by distinguished members of our faculty, will provide a platform for discussion and help disseminate cutting-edge research, bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and clinical practice, and promote industry engagement.

These goals foster medical research and its constant quest to improve healthcare for all.

I encourage each of you to actively participate, contribute your insights and take advantage of the networking and collaboration opportunities this Congress offers.

Together we can push the boundaries of medical knowledge and work towards better health and well-being for all.

Yours sincerely,

Dirk Hellwig

Worth a visit when in Regensburg:
The Castle of St. Emmeram or Castle of Thurn and Taxis is a castle of the princely house of Thurn and Taxis in Regensburg, which arose from the buildings of the St. Emmeram monastery after renovations and new buildings at the end of the 19th century, after the monastery was transferred to the princely house in 1810. Hard to belive but the Castle of St. Emmeram is even larger than the Buckingham Palace in London.

If you have some free time why not having a stroll trough the ancient old town of Regensburg which was certified an UNESCO World Heritage since 2006.
