Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to announce the 2^nd Sepsis Treatment And Research (STAR) Symposium, which will be held in Vecsés, Hungary, 12-13 September 2025, and I would like to invite all doctors involved in the care of critically ill patients to this exciting event.

Please save the dates in your calendar!

We invited acknowledged international experts and key opinion leaders in the field of intensive and critical care medicine, and the program of the symposium aimed to present the most important elements and latest research results related to the care of critically ill patients suffering from sepsis and septic shock. We will discuss hot topics including respiratory and hemodynamic management, blood purification techniques, sepsis associated coagulopathy, nutrition, pain management, biomarkers, etc.
This year we will focus on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in intensive care and last but not least we aim to provide insight into research design and publication processes.

Beyond the academic program, our meeting will offer an exceptional opportunity to discuss opinions and views, develop cooperation and a common way of thinking, share experiences, and create social networks for a better intensive and critical care.

STAR 2025 - similar to last year - will take place in a fancy and cozy venue, the Eprespark Event Centre, Vecsés. Those who cannot attend in person can also participate online.

In my opinion, if we take a look at the topics of the professional program and the list of speakers, there will be no doubt that we are facing a high-quality event, to which we warmly welcome everyone!

Let’s meet in autumn at the 2^nd STAR Symposium in Vecsés!

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Zoltán Ruszkai
