Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is my great honor and pleasure to invite you to Antalya, Türkiye, for the International Congress of Clinical Anatomy 2027, to be held on 28–31 October 2027.

Building on the success of previous joint meetings, the International Congress of Clinical Anatomy continues as a collaborative platform that brings together the European Association of Clinical Anatomy (EACA) and the International Symposium of Clinical and Applied Anatomy (ISCAA). We are delighted to welcome you to the 2027 edition in Antalya, where the 19^th EACA Congress and the 18^th ISCAA will once again provide an exceptional forum for scientific exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the advancement of clinical anatomy. As part of this international gathering, members of the Turkish Society of Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy (TAKAD) will also come together for their 27^th National Anatomy Congress, creating valuable opportunities to strengthen interactions between the Turkish anatomical community and colleagues from around the world.

Our congress is founded on a simple but powerful belief: the future of anatomy lies in building bridges. Our theme, "Bridging Anatomy," reflects our commitment to connecting tradition with innovation, basic sciences with clinical practice, education with technology, research with patient care, and experienced scientists with the next generation of anatomists. Above all, we aim to strengthen the bonds between people, societies, and disciplines working together to advance anatomical sciences and improve healthcare.

Our scientific program has been designed to reflect this vision. Distinguished keynote speakers, inspiring symposia, interactive workshops, instructional courses, panel discussions, and scientific sessions will explore the full spectrum of contemporary anatomy; from education and artificial intelligence to imaging, neuroscience, surgical anatomy, embryology, ethics, and translational research. Through collaborations with clinical and surgical societies, we hope to further strengthen the essential role of anatomy in modern medicine and patient care.

There could hardly be a more inspiring destination than Antalya. Set on the magnificent Mediterranean coast of Türkiye, it offers a unique blend of history, culture, natural beauty, and renowned hospitality. Even in late October, visitors can enjoy warm sunshine, the turquoise sea, remarkable archaeological sites, outstanding cuisine, and an unforgettable social atmosphere alongside the scientific program.

As your hosts, we look forward to sharing the warmth of Turkish hospitality while welcoming you to an inspiring scientific and cultural experience. Together, let us continue Bridging Anatomy and shape the future of clinical anatomy.

We look forward to welcoming you to Antalya in October 2027.
