History

During the third international congress for Pediatric Dermatology on April 30th, 1983, in Monte Carlo, a group of 40 doctors met on the initiative of Prof. Marc Larrègue to create the European Society for Pediatric Dermatology. Professors R. Happle and E. Grosshans were asked to create the statutes of the society and organize a founding meeting for this new scientific association.
The founding meeting took place on June 4th, 1983 in Brussels during the “XVIIe Congrès de l’Association des Dermatologistes et Syphiligraphes de Langue Française”, where the European Society for Pediatric Dermatology was officially created. The members of the first executive board were: President: Prof. R. Happle; Secretary: Prof. E. Grosshans and Treasurer: Prof. J-H. Saurat.
