The Roads of Dermatology
The ICD logo & theme
Learn more about what lies behind the Roads of Dermatology and the ICD logo
The XIV International Congress of Dermatology (ICD 2025) logo incorporates references to Rome, as depicted by its well-known emblem, the Colosseum, as well as the various countries and routes leading to the Eternal City. Each geographical area is marked by a certain colour, and the mediaeval proverb ‘All roads lead to Rome’ appears to be accurate.
The congress will promote dermatology and improve skin health for everybody by increasing cooperation across geographical, political, and economic frontiers. It will present a broad, in-depth, and exciting scientific programme that will not only cover clinical areas but will also enhance patient and community involvement and understanding of basic and translational research.
The ICD will look into the future of dermatology by bringing together doctors, researchers, and industry to promote and improve skin health for all. It will be a congress without frontiers that celebrates diversity, as reflected by the six Roads of Dermatology that cross geographical boundaries and bring the world to the city where history and modernity collide.
Each continent corresponds to 6 tracks, to which the definition of the Scientific Programme revolves around:
INCLUSION: Global health
INNOVATION: Medical dermatology
EVOLUTION: Digital health & artificial intelligence
RESEARCH: Oncology
EQUALITY: Tropical infections/diseases and sexually transmitted diseases
SELF-ESTEEM: Aesthetic and cosmetic dermatology
From six continents, the worldwide dermatological community has converged to Rome.
We all walk the roads of dermatology… In 2025, all roads lead to Rome!
