Annual report 2021

v-WIN end of the year REPORT
On behalf of venous-lymphatic World International Network
(v-WIN) foundation, we’d like to take the end of the year report opportunity to deeply thank all the Colleagues and Friends around the world who have made the annual mission accomplishment possible.
 
Therefore, not by coincidence, we start with the report of the
VEIN MAP project, propelled by the will of offering a free tool to all the Vein-Lymphatic experts, to “promote GLOBAL SYNERGY, avoiding OVERLAPPING” in educational initiatives, during a new age of mainly hybrids events. 
The GEO & TIME localization software allows all the Scientific Societies & Vein-Lymphatic Experts to autonomously upload their events for free, including meeting descriptionpictures, videos, documents, links. Moreover, by a simple click, the event can be shared on the Social Networks and added on the Calendar. With great pleasure, we report all the continents have been already enjoying this tool, which is at disposal of everyone in the dedicated webpage. 
VEIN MAP
With the same will of stimulating
global EDUCATIONAL TEAMWORK, from April 5 to 11, the

VEIN WEEK project was developed, achieving the following main outcomes: 

1. Direct engagement of 114 project developers.
2. Development of 271 events in one week.
3. Engagement of ALL continents, including previously silent regions.
4. In 7 days, 112.729 visualizations of the events uploaded in the VEIN WEEK MAP, from all continents.
5. Together with many others, among the developed institutional interactions, of particular importance were the ones with Italian Board of Physicians, the UK parliament group for venous-lymphatic disease, the Paraguay Ministry of Health, the International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery & Trauma, the European College of OBGyn.


v-WIN deepest gratitude goes to all the active developers, institutions and supporting companies who made the not for profit global initiative possible.
A special mention goes to ALFASIGMA, MEDI and PHILIPS for having made the project development possible in such an unbiased and moral way.

With the special memory of the FACULTY balloons
flying away from
v-WIN Albarella Island 2017 meeting, we look forward for the landing of the v-WINter DUBAI faculty, convinced that it’s not just where we are going, but also whom we are traveling with, deeply grateful then for the thousands who, along the 2021, joined

being together in a time in which
gathering together was not possible.
Wishing everyone a meaningful 2022,
see you in Dubai on Feb 3.
