ECSRHM Annual Conference and General Meeting
Olsztyn, Poland 19-22.05.2022

Information for ECSRHM diplomates and residents
The ECSRHM Conference and General Meeting will be held as part of the XXI Middle European Buiatrics Congress in Hotel Anders, Stare Jabłonki in the north-eastern part of Poland – the Masurian Lake District, near the city of Olsztyn.

This region of Poland is known not only for its beautiful landscapes with many lakes, but also for its history. Visiting Olsztyn, we will learn a lot about Poles and Germans who lived here in the past, as well as about … Copernicus, who spent a large part of his life in Olsztyn. The history of this part of Poland is certainly interesting and unique!
Together with the organizing committee of the XXI Middle European Buiatrics Congress, we invite all of you to Masurian Lake District!
