Thriving Community

Our organization conducts a world congress every 3 years and sister society meetings every year during the AAD congress in US and the EADV congress in Europe.

The IDS was founded in 2003 by H. Peter Soyer, Rainer Hofmann-Wellenhof and Giuseppe Argenziano to promote clinical research in dermoscopy and to represent a clinically oriented international organization with a thrust towards helping and improving education in dermoscopy.
