The 33rd Annual Meeting of the European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS) took place in Davos, Switzerland. The Meeting was organized by the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI) and co-organized by ARI Orthopaedics and the International Society for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS). Guided by the principle of promoting collaboration and shared development, the congress covered a broad range of topics in basic, translational, and clinical orthopaedic research, bringing together experts from 53 countries and regions worldwide. China participated as the guest country of honor, and the Chinese Society for Biomaterials (CSBM) was invited to organize and convene special sessions.
Prof. Ling Qin, a Council Member of CSBM, served as the convener of these special sessions, organizing five thematic subsessions:
l "Meet-the-Editors-in-Chief" (Session leader: Ling Qin, The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
