Digital pathology (DP) and artificial intelligence (AI) have revolutionized the field of pathology. Although growing interest in DP & AI has been observed recently, there is still a reluctance to adopt this technology in routine clinical practice. Further, there is a need to harmonize this technology globally and bridge the knowledge gaps to get acquainted with the nuances of DP & AI. To this aim, we are pleased to announce the first-ever edition of the EurAsia Academy on Digital Pathology, an online event that will take place on October 10, 2023.

Organized by the European Society of Digital and Integrative Pathology (ESDIP), the Japanese Society of Digital Pathology (JSDP), and the Indian DP Interest Group, this event will bring together top-level experts from across the globe.

Throughout the day, pathologists, technicians, computer scientists, and clinicians, from entry-level to experienced users, will be able to follow online lectures that will cover major topics related to DP and AI. In this symposium, the following key areas will be addressed in two separate sessions:
1. Establishing and Transitioning to Digital Pathology
2. AI algorithms: From basics to clinical adoption
