Resumen: 
Durante los días 20, 21 y 22 de junio se celebró en Madrid, en el hotel Ríu Plaza de España, el Congreso de la European Dry Eye Society (EuDES) con un éxito abrumador. EuDES, con tan solo 4 años de edad, es una sociedad joven pero muy dinámica. La sociedad tiene más de 3.000 socios y su actividad científica se lleva a cabo durante todo el año. En los previos congresos de París y Múnich la asistencia rozó los 400 participantes. Las expectativas eran tener unos 450 asistentes, sin embargo, se tuvo 614 participantes desbordando las expectativas más positivas. Una semana antes de dar comienzo se tuvo que colgar el cartel de “no hay billetes” por motivos de aforo y seguridad, no pudiendo aceptar nuevas inscripciones. Entre los asistentes hubo visitantes de 52 naciones diferentes. Y aunque se trata de una sociedad científica europea, el congreso tuvo una participación global. Este fabuloso éxito fue debido a un programa científico muy interesante, a la ayuda inestimable de las casas comerciales y al atractivo de Madrid. Entre los actos más destacados del programa estuvieron las conferencias invitadas de los doctores Belmonte, Stern, Pflugfelder y Galor. Hubo sesiones hispanoamericanas, norteamericanas, asiáticas y del norte de África y Oriente medio. Durante en congreso se ofreció un homenaje al profesor Murube del Castillo. El próximo congreso tendrá lugar en Cracovia (Polonia) los días 19, 20 y 21 de junio del 2025. Os esperamos allí. 

Synopsis: 
On June 20, 21 and 22, the Congress of the European Dry Eye Society (EuDES) was held in Madrid, at the Ríu Plaza de España hotel, with overwhelming success. EuDES, at only 4 years old, is a young but very dynamic society. The society has more than 3,000 members and its scientific activity is carried out throughout the year. At the previous congresses in Paris and Munich, attendance was close to 400 participants. The expectations were to have about 450 attendees, however, there were 614 participants exceeding the most positive expectations. A week before the start, the “no tickets” sign had to be hung for reasons of capacity and security, and new registrations could not be accepted. Among those attending were visitors from 52 different nations. And although it is a European scientific society, the congress had global participation. This fabulous success was due to a very interesting scientific program, the invaluable help of commercial houses and the attractiveness of Madrid. Among the most notable events of the program were the guest lectures by doctors Belmonte, Stern, Pflugfelder and Galor. There were Latin American, North American, Asian, North African and Middle Eastern sessions. During the congress, a tribute was offered to Professor Murube del Castillo. The next congress will take place in Krakow (Poland) on June 19, 20 and 21, 2025. We are waiting for you there.
