Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is with great excitement that I invite you to join us for the 11th Congress of the European Academy of Paediatric Societies (EAPS 2025), taking place between 18-20 October 2025 in the vibrant city of Lisbon, Portugal. This year marks an exciting new chapter as EAPS transitions into an annual event, continuing its tradition of uniting the global paediatric community for groundbreaking science, education, and collaboration.

Since its inception in 2006, EAPS has been a premier platform for the latest advancements in paediatric and neonatal medicine. In 2025, we are proud to offer our most comprehensive programme yet, developed in collaboration with leading European paediatric societies, including AEPC, ESID, ESPID, EUROELSO, SIOP, and many more. Together, we will provide an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the foremost experts across a wide range of sub-specialties, from neonatal care to adolescent medicine.

At the heart of EAPS 2025 is our commitment to “Uniting Expertise, Advancing Care.” We are dedicated to showcasing the latest breakthroughs in paediatric research, education, and clinical practice. The congress will cover a broad spectrum of sub-specialties, ensuring a rich and collaborative programme. Specialists from around the globe will lead expert-led sessions that highlight new discoveries, therapeutic innovations, and cutting-edge research. Continuing our tradition of hands-on workshops, EAPS 2025 will also offer interactive sessions designed to translate scientific knowledge into clinical practice. Additionally, we are proud to support emerging leaders, offering young paediatric talents a global stage to present their work and shine among the international paediatric community.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or an emerging leader, EAPS 2025 offers a dynamic and engaging environment where you can learn, collaborate, and build lasting connections. As a bonus, the congress will be hosted in Lisbon, a city full of rich history, culture, and breathtaking sights, making it the perfect place to explore during your visit. We are confident that this congress will inspire and equip you with the tools needed to advance paediatric care in your own practice.

We look forward to welcoming you to Lisbon on 18-20 October 2025, for what promises to be an exceptional and impactful congress.
