Dear friends and colleagues,

Following the success of four prior conferences, it is our honor and pleasure to announce that the 5th Experts in Stone Disease (ESD) Conference will take place in Athens, Greece, January 29-30, 2021. The conference will be conjointly organized with the 14th International Symposium on Urolithiasis of the International Urolithiasis Society (IUS).

New technologies, integrative medicine, combining surgery, research and conservative medicine, and smart solutions will decrease the sufferings of our patients and also bring us closer to help our patients in preventing stone formation.

Bringing together international urologists and leading researchers, ESD 2021 will be a showcase for the most advanced technologies and solutions for urinary stone disease.

As we are looking at ever increasing additions in surgical armamentarium, and advanced research in basic sciences, urology is facing new and tougher challenges. As urologists and researchers, we look for that competitive edge through which the fraternity will excel new innovations as cornerstones.

The conference will be organized in collaboration and under the auspices of the Hellenic Urological Society (HUA).

Needless to mention that the City of Athens has been chosen for its own well known attractions as a major travel and tourist hub for the world, being a unique combination of the old and the new, set up against a spectacular Mediterranean landscape; a world famous past; an exciting present. A city where hospitality, setting and character are guaranteed to take your breath away.

Looking forward to see you in Athens for yet another exciting ESD Conference!

With best regards
