The First ESCRS Ball: A Viennese Ball

Saturday 9 September 2023 – Hofburg – Imperial Palace

  • ESCRS is very excited to offer a unique networking opportunity to our congress participants. What better way to take time to connect with your peers and colleagues, as well as build new relationships with colleagues from across Europe and the world than at a Viennese Ball – in the iconic Hofburg Imperial Palace?

    Additionally, you will be able to participate in ESCRS’ Charity Fundraising.

    Support the ESCRS Charity Ball in Vienna for ophthalmic surgery programmes in need.

    Within the past 18 months, we’ve already delivered 2M Euros of aid and training to Ukraine and granted 400,000 Euros to projects in Bangladesh, Kenya, and more. Your help keeps our important work going. All administrative costs shall be borne by ESCRS. Act now!

ESCRS-Charity Concert for Light for the World

Sunday 10 September 2023 – Porgy & Bess, Jazz & Musical Club, Riemergasse 11, 1010 Vienna

  • JAZZMED 4 Life is a formation of dedicated physicians who have been putting their concerts at the service of charitable organisations or projects since 2007.

    The music of Jazzmed sounds equally groovy and melodic. The originals of the band members and guests are influenced by Jazz, Latin and Popular music in general. This time the vocalist Stefanie Pitsch, the violinist Anton “Toni” Burger and Dan Reinstein on the saxophone will enter into an exciting dialogue with the band.

    On this evening in September, the proceeds of the benefit concert will be donated to Light for the World. An international organisation that saves sight and empowers people with disabilities in Africa. Attending the benefit concert is therefore the best opportunity to enjoy music while urgently making the world a better place.

    Save the date and join us! For further information please visit our website: www.jazzmed.at.

    Tickets: €28,00: available at www.porgy.at and +43 1 512 88 12.
