The European Association for Vision and Eye Research (EVER) congress is a site for clinicians and scientists to discuss their latest advances, and to encourage the participation of young ophthalmologists and visual scientists, as they are undoubtedly the future of our society. Sharing knowledge is usually the main purpose of the Congress, but this year we also need to re-launch the society encouraging the participation of students, residents in training and young investigators.

In a time of technological disruption and evolution, when even things as familiar as vision, computers and automobiles seem to be on the edge of amazing reinvention, FiO LS brings forward true visionaries to speak about discoveries soon to come.

The Fall Vision Meeting is a small, high quality, international meeting sponsored by Optica for researchers in visual neuroscience, optics and psychophysics. The small and focused nature of the meeting and its single-track format foster active discussion and often forge friendships and collaborations.
