Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is my great pleasure to formally announce the XXV IFCC-EFLM EuroMedLab Congress, which will be jointly hosted by IFCC, EFLM, and the Italian Society in partnership with MZ Congressi. I invite all of you to participate in the academic sessions, industry exhibits, and other offerings of this premier scientific event, taking place in Rome, Italy from May 21-25, 2023.
Indeed, the biannual EuroMedLab Congresses continue to act as leading forums in the field of laboratory medicine and clinical chemistry, bringing together scientists, laboratory specialists, clinicians, and industry colleagues to enable scientific exchange and advancement. The 2023 EuroMedLab Congress will feature innovative and diverse education opportunities, including lectures,
symposia, recent advancements in clinical practice and science, poster presentations, and industry exhibits, as well as an excellent social program. Attendees will thereby have the chance to interact with distinguished experts from around the world.
Rome will provide the perfect setting for this experience, as a truly global city that is rich in history, stunning architecture, and cosmopolitan atmosphere. The organizing and scientific conference committees are now busy planning outstanding scientific and social programs.
As IFCC continues to grow and expand its international reach, we remain committed to the key goal of advancing better healthcare worldwide. International forums such as the 2023 EuroMedLab Congress support us in this effort by ensuring our organization and field remain at the cutting edge. In support of this mission, the conference organizing committee and scientific organization committee are working hard to build a very strong program with a
truly international faculty as well as industry workshop and exhibits.
Stay tuned for more information over the coming year!

LA NUVOLA - ROMA CONVENTION GROUP

Viale della Pittura, 50 – 00144 Roma
Italy

The Roman neighborhood of EUR contains the most iconic examples of Rationalism, an architectural current which reached its height in the 1920s-1930s.
Since its establishment, EUR has accommodated the most significant events in Rome and it should be no surprise that the visionary architectural complex designed by Massimiliano Fuksas has risen in this very district.
La Nuvola and Palazzo dei Congressi are both managed by Roma Convention Center and they symbolize the dual soul of EUR: tradition and innovation.
La Nuvola’s design concept is defined by three elements: the ”Theca”, the “Cloud” and the “Blade” of the hotel. The Theca is a steel and glass display-case (70 x 40 x 175 meters) characterized by a rigorous geometrical shape where the fiberglass structure of the Cloud float with its translucent curves, like an enormous, weightless sculpture.
The Blade is an impressive jet-black prism which runs along the south side of the Theca and contains a 4 star hotel, the logistical counterpart for the events and conventions hosted in the Cloud.
