Sleep Europe 2022 Updates
Sleep Europe 2022 is only 10 days away and the 26th Congress of the ESRS is going to be a monumental event for many reasons:
- Celebrating the 50th anniversary of ESRS
- We’ll be distributing the first printed copy of the Journal of Sleep Research since 2011
- The first ever hybrid (online & on-site) ESRS Congress
- One of the largest ESRS Congress ever, with well over 2,000 registered participants!
In addition to these significant feats, there are several other highlights which will cement Sleep Europe 2022’s place in history – and why you shouldn’t miss it.
The Lancet Symposium
We are proud to host The Lancet satellite symposium on Friday, 30 September 2022 at 12:15 EEST. Join the symposium organised by world’s oldest and most renowned medical journal as they discuss Sleep and sleep disorders: a clarion call to clinicians.
The programme will focus on the underdiagnosis of sleep disorders, excessive daytime sleepiness, the broader impact of insomnia & the need to understand treatments, circadian rhythms and the anthropology of sleep. Here are more details on the programme.

ECRN/GEF Evening Social & Quiz
Complete your Wednesday evening with a visit to the off-site Evening Social & Quiz organised by the Early Career Researchers Network (ECRN) and The Gender Equality Forum (GEF) and supported by Avadel.
Put together a team or just show up and test your knowledge in Sleep, ESRS and other topics. Led by a professional Quiz master. Light refreshments will be provided. The event is planned to immediately follow the EU Networks Networking from 20:20 to 22:20 EEST and will take place at the Athens Sports Bar. Athens Sports Bar, 3A Veikou Street, Makryianni, GR 117-42, +30 210 9235811
Registration
As mentioned before, this will be our first hybrid congress where you can also participate online from the comfort of your home or office. Registration for online participation will remain open until the end of the congress as you’ll be able to watch all live-streamed and recorded scientific sessions and access e-posters. This material will be available on-demand on the digital congress platform for 6 months post-congress (until 31 March 2023).
We’re looking forward to seeing you in Athens soon.
ESRS Reminders
GEF Gender Equality Survey
