With great pleasure we would like to welcome you to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where we will host the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (ESOPRS). Amidst our oculoplastic colleagues from all over the globe, we will have several days to exchange scientific and practical knowledge, start collaborations, share ideas, and start new friendships or catch up with old friends. World-renowned experts and respected speakers from different continents will gather in Rotterdam for this purpose. From pre-meeting didactic courses, breakfast sessions, lunch symposia, to plenary sessions, we will offer a comprehensive program for our delegates.

Welcome reception
The venue of the Welcome Reception will be the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, which represents the world’s first publicly accessible art storage facility. The depot is located next to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Museumpark in Rotterdam. Visitors can see the result of 174 years of collecting. More than 152,000 objects housed together, arranged in fourteen storage compartments with five different climates. Next to the objects, all the activities that go into preserving and managing a collection are on open view in the building. It was awarded the “European Museum of the Year Award” in 2023.

Meeting venue
The venue of the Meeting will be the concert and convention center De Doelen, the home of the famous Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. It is situated close to the central railway station, which has a direct connection to Schiphol Airport.

Gala dinner
The venue of our Friday’s evening gala dinner will be the St. Lawrence Church (Laurens kerk), the only remaining monument in Rotterdam from the Middle Ages. Concerts, festivals, fairs and exhibitions are organized in this late-Gothic church. In addition, church services can also still take place.
