The theme of the Congress is "Microcirculation and Metabolism?. We attempt to broaden the scope to include the aspect of metabolism. The recent breakthroughs and developments have made it possible to discuss the link between local metabolic signatures and microvascular functions. Together with the International Scientific Programme Committee representing Europe, America Austral-Asia around the globe, we will commit ourselves to develop an exciting meeting to match a growing recognition of the field of Microcirculation.
