ARI Orthopaedics
Since 1999, eCM organized yearly conferences for preclinical orthopedic research in Davos, Switzerland. The conferences were organized by scientists at the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI). In 2024, eCM conferences were rebranded to ARI Orthopaedics, where scientists (including biologists, engineers, and material scientists), clinicians, and industry meet.
Together, they bring clinical problems to the table, consider industrial requirements of possible solutions, and often initiate collaborative projects to answer these clinical problems. The limited number of participants (max 200) ensures ample opportunities for knowledge sharing in basic, translational, and clinical research.

Welcome to the AO Orthopaedic Research Summit 2025
Dear esteemed participants,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the AO Orthopaedic Research Summit 2025, hosted by the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI) in the breathtaking alpine town of Davos. As chair of this summit of three congresses, I am honored to host this special gathering.
Three societies combine minds at this year’s conference to advance science and clinical impact: ARI Orthopaedics, the European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS), and the International Society for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS). We have designed three programs to highlight cutting-edge advancements in our fields, featuring a blend of plenary speakers with parallel sessions for their talks, keynote speakers within each congress, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops.
We are honored to announce that the Guest Nation for the 33rd Annual EORS Meeting in 2025 will be China. This was accepted on behalf of China by Professor Zhoujing Luo, MD, PhD, President of the China Orthopaedic Research Society. Other Chinese societies such as ICMRS will also attend with symposia.
Our EORS symposia for sister societies and societies connected to the field will run throughout the congress and we welcomed submissions to this important part of the EORS meeting.
As the field of orthopedics continues to transform, it is important that we come together to discuss how we can lead in advancing patient outcomes. This conference is not only an opportunity for learning but also a platform for meaningful connections and collaborations. I encourage each of you to take full advantage of this unique setting to share your insights, explore new ideas, and build lasting professional relationships.
I would like to thank our speakers, sponsors, and organizing committee, and most importantly my team whose unwavering support and hard work will contribute to the success of this combined event to ensure that this conference allows us to remain at the forefront of our profession.
Finally, I hope that you take time to explore Davos, a city renowned for its natural beauty and spirit of innovation. Whether you are inspired by the mountain ranges or the vibrant discussions within our sessions, I am confident that your experience here will be both professionally and personally enriching.
