Dear colleagues and friends,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 35^th Nordic Congress of Dermatology & Venereology, NCDV 2022 in Copenhagen on April 19–22, 2022 to celebrate dermatology and venereology. 

We will celebrate what new things we have discovered together, what we have learned from our discoveries, and what we can achieve together for the benefit of our patients. We will do this through a series of carefully orchestrated symposia, designed to catch your attention and maximize your benefit through didactic design.

The design-savvy Danish capital offers a wide variety of architecture; from 17th-century buildings to modern architectural landmarks. Experience a maritime and culinary destination with a great atmosphere of coziness. 

We look forward to welcoming you  – in person – to Copenhagen!

Since August 2014 the Nordic Course on Skin Surgery has been held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The course is a unique learning opportunity for residents and specialists in dermatology who wish to practice dermatologic surgery and take their skills to a higher level of expertise.
The course covers a theoretical review of the basic principles of skin surgery and extensive practical workshops using human cadavers so you will have the opportunity to practice various excision and closure techniques.

Registration is now open for the 7th Nordic Course on Skin Surgery in Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Panum, Copenhagen, Denmark. The course will take place on August 25 – 26.

Make your registration here!

For the second consecutive year, the Nordic Dermatology Association (NDA) research grant was announced and open for application between Aug 1 and Oct 10, 2021, exclusively for residents or recently approved specialists in dermatology and venereology.

NDA research committee received 11 applications concerning interesting research projects from Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, but none from Norway and Iceland.  All applications were evaluated by the research committee based on their clinical and scientific relevance and feasibility.  

The research projects involved a broad spectrum of topics, but few included Nordic collaboration. Based on the evaluations, the board decided to split the 60,000 SEK research grant between two applicants, who were given 30,000 SEK each:

• Laura Krogh Herlin, Denmark: Ectodermal dysplasia in Denmark
• Sinja Kristiansen, Sweden: HPV in invasive penile cancer and risk factors and treatment for penile intraepithelial neoplasia

All applicants have been given feedback from the committee concerning their research projects and applications.

The NDA board and research committee congratulate the grantees!
