The 40th Annual Meeting of the European Bone and Joint Infection Society, will take place in Graz, Austria on 8-10 September 2022. The conference will be held at the Congress Graz, conveniently located in the heart of the city. 

Graz is known as Austria’s culinary and cultural capital. In the historic old town with its roads, streets, squares and courtyards there’s lots to explore and even more to be enjoyed. Discovering the city is a stroll through centuries right into the future. With its historic buildings and the futuristic Kunsthaus and the Mur Island it is for a good reason a UNESCO world heritage site and a UNESCO city of design at the same time.

The conference will bring together experts, practitioners and companies involved in the treatment of bone and joint infections. Professionals attending the conference will benefit from high-level scientific presentations, knowledge sharing and networking opportunities. The scientific programme will be provided with keynote lectures, free paper sessions, industry symposia and posters.
