Two inspiring days in beautiful Gothenburg for the International Dermoscopy Society brainstorming meeting, kindly hosted by John Paoli ✨

We had productive discussions about the future academic projects of the IDS, shared new ideas, and shaped upcoming opinion papers and recommendation papers together.
It was incredibly motivating to see so many passionate minds working toward the same goal: improving education, collaboration, and the future of dermoscopy worldwide 🌍

Beyond the meetings, it was also a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends, exchange experiences, and create new ideas together.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to these inspiring two days! Looking forward to the exciting projects ahead
