In 2012 a group enthusiastic intensivists launched an initiative, what we called SepsEast, in order to bring Eastern European opinion leaders and Western European experts together on a conference in Budapest, Hungary. The idea was welcomed by several societies and we decided to organize our conferences regularly and biannually. In November 2016 we had our third meeting attracting more than 600 participants from all over Europe and beyond. Over the last 30 years intensive care medicine has become a fast advancing medical speciality all around the world and its impact in medicine in general is plausible. Critical care journals have high impact factors and scientific publications from the field appear regularly in
the highest ranking medical journals. Emergency and critical care has become the core element of the hospital structure and it is also becoming more popular among medical students and getting publicity like never before. However, it is mainly true in the “West”.
