Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are thrilled to invite you to the 38th Congress of the International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI)-Europe, to be held in Athens, Greece, between October 9-11, 2025. The theme of the Congress is “Sexual Health from Hippocrates to AI”.

This event will bring together leading experts and healthcare professionals from across Europe and beyond to discuss the latest developments in sexually transmitted infections, inflammatory skin diseases of the anogenital area and sexual health.

Athens, the capital of Greece, is the cradle of Western civilization. The city's landmark, Parthenon temple in Acropolis hill, is well-known around the world. A vibrant city with thousands of years of history and an abundance of archaeological, cultural and architectural treasures, Athens is blessed with an excellent Mediterranean climate and it is surrounded by the "big blue" of the Aegean Sea. This setting, along with a superb infrastructure in terms of accommodation, local transportation and recreation, make Athens an ideal venue for this important event.

The Organizing and Scientific Committees are committed to ensuring an unforgettable experience for every participant. We look forward to engaging discussions, meaningful exchanges of knowledge, and most importantly, your participation and valuable contributions to this outstanding event.

Come and join us to the journey from Hippocrates to AI!

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Athens!

Warm regards,

Electra Nicolaidou
