The official EDF website (www.euroderm.org) has also been renovated and we hope you will find it clear, informative and user-friendly. From January 2019, a protected and interactive area will be available for members. Any suggestion to further improve it is very welcome.

 

Finally, you can follow us on Twitter (@EDFDermatology).

 

One of the most important objective of EDF will be, as from its foundation, a special interaction with industry to exchange information and to collaborate with the scope of improving the drug armamentarium in Dermato-Venereology to the benefit of patients. In this respect, we would like to especially thank our Corporate supporting members.

 

Since its foundation, the EDF has been always very successful in promoting and improving our specialty in Europe. Yet, this would not be possible without the contribution of members. This is why we invite you to actively participate in the EDF with suggestions and comments.
We look forward to seeing you in Montreux in January 2019.

 

Warm regards,
Prof. Carlo Pincelli
Secretary-General EDF
