We are looking back on a wonderful ESLHO week in Lisbon, Portugal. All three ESLHO consortia EuroFlow, EuroClonality and EuroMRD had their general meetings. They were all very productive and there was also time to meet sociable during dinners which is so important to keep our cooperative work at the highest level. Highlight wasthe 13th ESLHO Symposium on Thursday. The historical Convento de Beato formed an almost magical background to host the symposium titled Muli-omics approaches for diagnosis and monitoring of hematological malignancies. The excellent invited speakers, the abstract-based selected speakers and the blitz- and poster presentations made it into a varied and scientifically highly interesting gathering. This open symposium was made possible by sponsors, who presented themselves in the well-visited sponsor area.
