Last week, Laura Lafuente, Liesbeth Ory, Tom Verbraeken and Lies Geris participated in the 33rd Annual Meeting for the European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS). The congress took place on 16-19 June 2025 in Davos, Switzerland. It was a week full of inspiring science, great discussions and new perspectives.

They all presented during the congress:

• Laura gave an oral presentation entitled “Multiscale in silico models of fracture healing: providing an integrative framework to understand the influences of defect size, sex-differences and inflammation”, which was part of the symposium “Pre-clinical – Bone defects: from bench to bedside”
• Liesbeth presented a poster entitled “Unravelling the immuno-mechanical dynamics in the early stages of long bone fracture healing”
• Tom presented a poster entitled “Investigating lymphangiogenesis in bone fracture models using a spatial transcriptomic approach”
• Lies gave an oral presentation entitled “In silico perspectives on bone regeneration: from virtual patients to living implants”, which was part of the symposium “Bone – To heal or not to heal: a multi-disciplinary view on non-unions”

They also had the chance to visit the AO Foundation, where they were warmly welcomed and learnt more about their research environment.
