Greeting


It is my great pleasure to invite you to the joint meeting of the 5th International Consultation on Interstitial Cystitis Japan (ICICJ) and the 2024 Annual Meeting of the European Society for the Study of Interstitial Cystitis (ESSIC), which will be held in Kyoto on August 21 (Wed) and 23 (Fri), 2024.

This three-day hybrid meeting (in-person & online participants) will discuss the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis, in particular the Hunner lesion.

A special lecture, six workshops, and a general oral poster presentation session are scheduled. The proceedings of this joint meeting will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Urology, the official English journal of the Japanese Urological Association, and the American Scientific Journals.

This very important meeting provides you an excellent opportunity to communicate with key international opinion leaders in the field of interstitial cystitis.

Please add this event to your calendar.

We look forward to seeing you.

Tomohiro Ueda, MD, PhD
President of the ICICJ



Dear Colleagues and Friends,

This year the annual meeting of the ESSIC will be held from 21st to 23rd August in Kyoto, Japan, in conjunction with the 5th International Consultation on Interstitial Cystitis. It is a source of great pride for all the members of the ESSIC to share this prestigious scientific event in a land of great tradition and culture where the knowledge of this important pelvic pathology has been strongly emphasized.

This joint ICICJ/ESSIC meeting will represent an important moment of cultural growth for the experts in the sector and a further international inter-society collaboration in an increasingly globalized world in which knowledge and information transcend national borders.

I am sure that these 3 days of Congress full of new and important scientific contributions, will enrich the scientific and clinical content of each of us and will represent a further step towards the priority objective which is that of the care and well-being of our patients.

Mauro Cervigni
President of ESSIC
