Vienna has always been the symbol of love and romanticism for me. How lucky I am, for the headquarters of Joint European Rare Diseases Society was located in the realm of music and timeless fine arts. The second reason for my happiness is the location of the European Radiology Association in the heart of Vienna. Eventually, the German language is another reason to remind me all the memories belonging to those days I was studying in Germany and Austria .
