The European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) will be hosting the first ever joint Congress on 10-13 May 2025. This truly joint landmark event, ‘Connecting Endocrinology Across the Life Course’, brings together paediatric and adult endocrine specialists from across Europe and the rest of the world to meet, collaborate and celebrate endocrinology at The Bella Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Congress is expected to attract over 6,000 delegates from over 100 countries to experience the latest endocrine research and developments in both paediatric and adult endocrinology. The event will provide a unique opportunity for learning new perspectives and enabling scientific exchanges, coupled with extensive networking opportunities to make new connections with colleagues working in endocrinology across the whole life course.
The unique programme has been compiled by a joint Scientific Programme Committee, creating sessions attractive to both paediatric and adult endocrinologists, including innovative joint sessions involving transition and other highly relevant topics to both disciplines. Additionally, sessions will be specifically tailored to paediatric and adult endocrinologists, across the endocrine discipline. These will include Plenaries, Symposia, Awards, Meet the Experts, and Oral and Rapid Communications.
Jérôme Bertherat, President of the European Society of Endocrinology commented: “We wanted to organise this Joint Congress because hormones matter throughout the lifetime, from birth to senescence. This combined activity is important not only for endocrine research and healthcare but also for Policy and Advocacy, and the ongoing concerns we have in respect of endocrine disruptors. When you come to a meeting you come for science, networking and to make new friends and that should be one of the best outcomes of this meeting.”
Anita Hokken-Koelega President of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology added: “We hope this Joint Congress provides inspiration for adult and paediatric endocrinologists to work more closely together, not only for collaborative research but also for the transitional care for our patients. We are much stronger when our two societies combine our efforts, which has already been demonstrated through the impact of projects we have been working on together over the last few years.”
A new Joint Award of ESPE and ESE – Endocrinology Across the Life Course Award – will be awarded at the Joint Congress in May, when the 2025 Award Winners from both societies, will present their lectures.
The Congress is welcoming abstracts including encore abstracts, and there will be an opportunity to submit any new research after the deadline of 3 February, when late-breaking abstracts will open for a brief period in March. ESPE and ESE look forward to seeing what new research has been developed, which will be presented at the onsite poster exhibition.
Key deadlines:
- Abstract submissions deadline: 3 February 2025
- Early Bird registration deadline: 27 March 2025
- Standard registration deadline: 24 April 2025
