Manfred Thomas

EFAS President (2024-2026)

Dear all,
 

It has been an honor to serve as EFAS President for the past two years, and I sincerely thank you for your trust. EFAS has grown into a large family with more than 6,000 members and an active educational program. The recent congress in Brussels also demonstrated that we are a vibrant organization. We had a strong turnout, with attendance increasing by more than 30%, showing that our message resonates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Manuel Monteagudo and the entire Scientific Committee for their dedication, as well as our MCO team, whose efforts were essential to the success of our initiatives.
