The first 5 congresses in Florence 2010, Madrid 2012, Rome 2014, Lisbon 2016 and Bordeaux 2018 were a significant successes. These congresses have contributed to the knowledge about scleroderma all over the world. Colleagues from different specialties, junior trainees, health professionals and patients have gathered together and they have profited by challenging programmes including clinical experience, interactive sessions and basic science. Along with the medical component of the congress, the patient program has grown with increasing attendance and extended lectures subjects.

We believe that the 6th World Scleroderma Congress will provide an exciting and up to date scientific programme. The combination of hands-on workshops, lectures, oral presentations and satellite sessions will provide an eclectic mix of experiences that will be put at disposal for all attendees. We welcome you to join us in Prague in 2020 for a stimulating experience in the world of scleroderma
