Welcome from The ESPD President

Dear colleagues, friends, and members of the pediatric dermatology community,

It is a true honor and privilege to serve as the new President of the ESPD. I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me, and I take on this responsibility with both enthusiasm and humility, as well as with a strong sense of commitment to an important mission.

As pediatric dermatologists, we are united by the goal of improving the care of children with skin diseases through clinical excellence, education, research, and collaboration. ESPD has always been a supportive platform for connecting professionals across Europe and beyond, and I am committed to continuing and expanding this legacy.

This role is not about one person, but about what we can achieve together. I warmly welcome your ideas, your involvement, and your energy. Whether you are a long-time member or a newcomer to the society, there is always space for your contribution through working groups, educational activities, research initiatives, or simply by sharing your perspective.

Let’s continue building a society that is inclusive, forward-looking, and responsive to the needs of our patients, our colleagues and the next generation of pediatric dermatologists.

Thank you once again for your support, and I look forward to working with all of you.

• Substantial reduction in registration fees for the annual ESPD congress
