VOSS is an ambitious cultural project dedicated to young ophthalmologists from all over Europe. It was established in 2013 and now it is resurrecting (as the Arab phoenix) after the pandemia. This School confirms to be a great opportunity for young ophthalmologists and Faculty members to meet together, to exchange hypothesis, theories and experience, in an unusual and stimulating location. The harmonization of education in Ophthalmology needs direct daily contact between trainees and teachers to share their previous experiences and to create a network for future cultural opportunities. The Venice Ophthalmology Summer School offers such an experience and new opportunities to young and motivated ophthalmologists.
The VOSS venue is the Don Orione Artigianelli Center, originally a medieval monastery, located in downtown Venice. Both faculty members and attendees are accommodated and have the full event (July 5 – 11, 2026) in this Center. The choice of Venice is to have VOSS in one of the most multicultural, multiethnic and multireligious cities of the world. A place where languages, cultures and religions meet since more than 1000 years.
VOSS is a cultural project under the patronage of both the Department of Neuroscience of the University of Padova and the Bietti Foundation (Roma).
Welcome to Venice to all VOSS Faculty members and attendees!
This Summer School is made possible by an unconditioned support from:
