World congress on osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal diseases

After more than 2 years of virtual editions, the World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases will take place from May 4 to May 7, 2023 in the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain!

The members of the Committee of Scientific Advisors of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) are developing a very exciting Congress’ scientific programme that will bring together the world’s best in the field of musculoskeletal health and disease.

We really hope to welcome you in Barcelona, Spain and that this Congress will move the field one step forward on all fronts; from new understanding of bone metabolism and pathology, to new strategies and options in prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The city of Barcelona offers a most convenient and pleasant setting for international congresses. We hope that you will also take the opportunity to explore its many attractions!
