Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We would like to sincerely thank all of you for your participation in the 11th Symposium of EWOG-MDS/EWOG-SAA, held from September 18 to 20, 2025, in Berlin, Germany. It was our great pleasure to welcome over 300 participants — 220 in person and 105 virtually — from around the world to what proved to be a highly stimulating and enriching scientific program.

The presentations will be available soon for streaming on this website until March 31, 2026. Please note that access to the streaming content is exclusively reserved for registered participants of the meeting.
Additionally, photos from the meeting and the social event, kindly provided by some participants, will be shared in the members’ section of the EWOG-MDS/SAA Website.

We very much look forward to welcoming you again in Utrecht, The Netherlands,  in 2027 for the 12th Symposium of EWOG-MDS/EWOG-SAA.

From September 18 to 20, 2025 we discussed the novel insights into:

  • Myelodysplastic Syndrome in the Young

  • Congenital bone marrow failure and acquired aplastic anemia

  • Refactory cytopenia of childhood

  • Genetic predisposition to myeloid neoplasia

  • Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) and other rare MPD
