We are proud to share a milestone for ISLE Academy.

ATHENA-MIBS 2026 — an advanced course in robotic breast surgery — which we helped co-develop, will be hosted at our facilities this June, under the auspices of the University of Athens and the scientific direction of Dr. I. Papapanagiotou.

Days 1 and 2 bring hands-on technical training, simulation, docking, and full system practice right here at ISLE Academy. On Day 3, our da Vinci systems move to the ATTC cadaveric lab for surgical practice under expert faculty guidance.

This is the kind of collaboration we are here for — and we do not take it lightly.

📅 26–28 June 2026 · Athens
👨‍⚕️ 4 operator spots · 8 observer places
⚠️ Limited places due to the hands-on nature of the course.

Colleagues from Greece and abroad are warmly invited to join us for what promises to be an exceptional academic and surgical experience.

The 4th edition of the Athens Workshop on Leadership has come to a close. 🌟

Over two intensive days, ISLE Academy brought together senior executives and two exceptional Harvard Business School professors — Boris Groysberg and Rawi Abdelal — to tackle one of the defining questions of our time: how do you lead when the rules of the global order are no longer fixed?

The world is being rewritten. And those who lead with clarity, courage, and vision will shape what comes next.

Thank you to every participant who brought depth and honesty to the conversation. To Prof. Groysberg and Prof. Abdelal — your insights will stay with us. And to the ISLE Academy team — thank you for making every detail exceptional.

Leadership is not a destination. It is a continuous act of reinvention. 🔁

Until the next edition.

🔬 A new milestone moment for surgical education in Greece.

ISLE Academy was proud to be part of the 𝟯𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 (𝗘𝗦𝗙𝗜𝗘) — held in 𝗜𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗮, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟰–𝟮𝟲, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 — one of the most dynamic medical student conferences in the country, bringing together the next generation of healthcare professionals from across Greece and beyond.

Our contribution this year: the workshop "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀" — an immersive, hands-on session using the 4th generation Da Vinci Xi that gave participants direct access to the 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶 𝗫𝗶 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 and a firsthand look at the transformative potential of robotic surgery.

But we didn't stop there. Attendees also had the exclusive opportunity to experience 𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗜𝗦 𝗩𝗥 — our proprietary virtual reality application that offers a cutting-edge digital twin simulation of robotic surgical systems, designed to accelerate learning and reduce the curve to surgical proficiency.

We are grateful to our team, the organizers of the 32nd ESFIE, and to every participant who brought their curiosity, commitment, and energy to this experience. The future of surgery is in capable hands.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

At ISLE Academy, we believe that exceptional surgical education doesn't come from a template — it comes from bringing the right minds together and building something meaningful, side by side.

That is exactly how 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 came to life.

We are honored to have partnered with Dr. Felix Dobritoiu as Scientific Director of this program — a collaboration rooted in a shared conviction: that the next generation of thoracic surgeons deserves a foundation built with the same rigour and intentionality that defines world-class surgical practice.

Head of Thoracic Surgery at Ponderas Academic Hospital, pioneer of robot-assisted thoracic surgery at his institution, and one of the region's foremost proctors and trainers in robotic thoracic techniques EACTS — Dr. Dobrițoiu brought to this collaboration something no curriculum alone can provide: hard-earned expertise, a clear vision for what early robotic training should look like, and a genuine investment in those he teaches.

Together, we designed something we are proud of.

One day. 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗗𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. 𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗜𝗦 𝗩𝗥 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. A structure that moves from theory into hands-on practice, guided by someone who has lived every step of the robotic learning curve.

𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 · 𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 · 𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻.
If robotic thoracic surgery is where you are headed, this is where that journey begins — properly.

ISLE Academy is organizing a hands-on educational program in robotic surgery at the School of Medicine of the University of Ioannina, under the auspices of the 32nd Scientific Congress of Medical Students of Greece (ESFIE), offering practical training to participants.

📅 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟰–𝟮𝟲, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲
📍 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗮 | 𝟯𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗦𝗙𝗜𝗘

As part of one of the most dynamic student-led medical congresses in Greece, we are offering a unique opportunity for medical students to engage directly with the future of surgery.

🔹 Discover the fundamentals and clinical impact of 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆
🔹 Gain hands-on experience through 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 & training stations
🔹 Develop core skills in 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & surgical precision

The growing demand for such workshops reflects a clear shift: the next generation of doctors is actively seeking 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹, 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

At ISLE Academy, we are committed to supporting this transition—bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world surgical innovation.

We would like to thank the ESFIE organizing committee and the University of Ioannina for this collaboration and shared vision.

A note for those who've been following along — with a little throwback. 👋

We've been sharing a lot about the Athens Workshop on Leadership IV over the past weeks, and we know many of you have been considering it. This time, instead of telling you what to expect, we thought we'd show you.

The photos below are from our previous editions — the sessions, the reactions, the dinners, the conversations that continued long after the day ended.

That's what two days in Athens with Harvard faculty actually looks like.

The IV Edition takes place May 18–19, 2026 at Domotel Kastri Hotel, Athens, with Prof. Boris Groysberg and Prof. Rawi Abdelal leading the program.

Standard registration is open until April 30. After that, last-call pricing applies.

If you've been on the fence — we hope this helps.

The world is not waiting for leadership teams to catch up.

This May, the Athens Workshop on Leadership | 4th Edition brings leaders to Athens for two days of executive learning built for the realities of today’s world.

And for the first time, the workshop will feature two Harvard Business School professors:
Prof. Boris Groysberg and Prof. Rawi Abdelal.

From culture, talent, and leadership inside the organization to the bigger shifts reshaping the global economy outside it, this workshop offers a powerful perspective on what leadership now demands.

The early bird rate is still available until the end of this week — a timely opportunity to secure your place before registrations move to full fee.

We are delighted to share that ISLE Academy will participate in the scientific event of the Hellenic Robotic Gynecological Surgery Society (HERGS) where we will also have the chance to showcase ERMIS VR, our proprietary VR training tool for robotic surgery.

In a field where precision, repetition, and confidence matter, training must evolve alongside the technology itself. ERMIS VR reflects ISLE Academy’s commitment to advancing medical education through immersive learning experiences that help support early robotic skills development in a more accessible and engaging way.

We are honored to stand alongside a scientific community shaping the future of robotic gynecological surgery, and we look forward to meaningful exchanges around innovation, education, and the next generation of surgical training.

We look forward to meeting the HERGS community and demonstrating how ERMIS VR is changing the game in surgical education! 💙.

𝐎𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐 | 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟗, Prof. Rawi Abdelal joins the 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬.

⁣
His perspective is especially relevant because this year’s workshop is built around the realities of a more fragmented world: competing power centers, geopolitical risk, supply-chain volatility, and institutional realignment. In that context, his contribution goes beyond commentary on current events. It helps leaders understand the deeper forces shaping the next world economy — and what those forces demand from executive decision-making.
⁣
That is why his impact is long-lasting: he gives leaders a sharper framework for reading systemic change. And that is why his insights are immediately applicable: they help translate external uncertainty into better decisions on resilience, growth, cross-border operations, and strategic direction. The workshop itself positions this as a key outcome for participants.
