Greetings from Davos! 🏔️ The MuSkITYRs are present at #EORS2025 and clearly in great company. With inspiring science, snow-capped peaks and even Bone Jovi among the participants, this year’s conference offers the perfect setting for inspiring discussions in musculoskeletal research.

The MuSkITYR Board is meeting in Innsbruck at the 52nd Congress of ECTS, the European Calcified Tissue Society!
We love how translational the ECTS community is - scientists and clinicians working together to advance the field and better help our patients! 🧑‍🔬👩‍⚕️‪@ectssociety.bsky.social‬ #ECTS2025

📣 Registration is open for the VII. MuSkITYR Symposium, Nov 3–4, 2025 in Dresden! Join us for 2 days of musculoskeletal research exchange with keynotes by Martina Rauner & Stefan Zwingenberger.🎓 Young researchers are invited to submit abstracts! muskityrs.com/anmeldung-dr... @tudresden.bsky.social

Greetings from #Osteologie2025! We’re excited to be part of this year’s conference, co-hosted by our Carl Neuerburg. Don’t miss the Young Investigator Award Symposium on Friday at 17:00 in the Blauer Saal - we’d love to see you there!

Save the date! The VII. MuSkITYR Symposium will be held November 3–4, 2025 in Dresden, Germany. Let’s come together again to advance musculoskeletal research and build on the momentum we’ve created. Stay tuned for more details! #boneresearch #cartilageresearch #bonehealth #orthobluesky

Thank you to our local host Conny Schneider @currifex.bsky.social and her fellow board members Dr. Kai Böker, Melanie Haffner-Luntzer @melaniehl.bsky.social and Andreas Lipphaus who made the MuSkITYR symposium in Vienna such a great success! One for all, all for one!

Day two of the symposium offered opportunity to explore Vienna, repeatedly deemed the most livable city in the world. Thank you Timur Yorgan and Conny Schneider @currifex.bsky.social for organizing a Monster hunt tour along the famous Ringstraße.

Our community is at the heart of every MuSkITYR symposium. Mentoring sessions provided valuable insights into early academic life - from writing papers to exploring diverse career paths post-degree. Small group discussions encouraged our young MuSkITYRs to share their experiences.

It takes a village to raise a symposium, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our Junior Chairs, Patrick Heimel, Dominik Hanetseder, and Regina Brunauer from @lbitrauma.bsky.social as well as Rosa Maria Nothnagel from AC2T research GmbH.

and Sonja Gamsjaeger from the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Osteology have deep insights into bone quality parameters.
Special thanks also go to Mario Rothbauer for his work in rallying the Vienna research community, helping us reach record participation numbers this year.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the VI. MuSkITYR Symposium a memorable success! Our keynote speakers elevated the scientific program and were a highlight of the event. Stefan Nehrer from Universität für Weiterbildung Krems inspired us with his insights into AI in musculoskeletal imaging

Congratulations to our MuSkITYR Symposium Awardees!
Best Presentation Day 1: 🏆 Rosa Maria Nothnagel from from AC2T research GmbH, Best Presentation Day 2:🏆 Victoria Sarne from Medical University of Vienna, Best Question Awards go to 🏆Jan-Moritz Ramge and 🏆Karyna Tarasova.

Interdisciplinarity and translation are at the heart of what we stand for, enhancing the mutual understanding and collaboration between lab and patient-side. We are the sum of all of our members and thank all the MuSkITYRs who gave a talk at the symposium. 👏👏👏

With 50 participants and 22 presentations from young researchers, the VI. MuSkITYR Symposium showcased the breadth and depth of research found in our community. From studies in basic science to translational and clinical research, the Vienna covered every stage in the journey from bench to bedside.

Un pour tous et tous pour un! - MuSkITYRs meet in Marseille for the #ects2024 congress. What better place to assemble bone researcher than around the Golden Femur? 🦴Thank you ECTS society for the great event!

Save the date for our MuSkITYR symposium 2025! The perfect place for early career scientists and clinicians to give their first talk, but also advanced researchers are welcome! Mentoring sessions included!
