Dear colleagues, Dear friends,
In 2025, the 24th European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ECTES) will be hosted in the city of Aachen/Germany, the heart of Europe. In close distance to the Netherlands and Belgium you will be surrounded by an omnipresent European spirit. Aside being part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage, the city is not only looking back on an impressive European history but also on an ongoing intensive contribution to international cooperation and exchange. In addition, the worldwide renown RWTH Aachen University, one of the German “Universities of Excellence”, expands the academic horizon and is a trendsetter for innovative technologies and medical developments.
