26th EFORT Congress

In the year 2025, the 26th EFORT Congress will take place in Lyon, France from 11 to 13 June.


In order to increase involvement and engagement with the National Societies we have moved away from simply inviting you to suggest topics, as this often led to duplication and repetition. Instead, the Science Committee has identified subject matter that is due for consideration after reviewing the most recent congresses and previous pending proposals. We attach a list of proposed sessions and now ask you to identify high quality speakers who you think can contribute to these sessions.

It is not expected that you will nominate speakers for every session – only make suggestions where you can point out a high quality contributor. It would be helpful if you could indicate whether the person you suggest is an expert across the topic, and could act as the organiser/moderator, or if the proposed speaker has a particular contribution to the topic (or subtopic of the main session) which you can summarise. We expect that we will receive more nominations than can be accommodated and, in order to maintain balance between contributing nations, please do not be disappointed if we do not use all of your suggestions on this occasion. They will be anyway collected as part of a database of proposals for next EFORT events. 

We recognise however that there may be ‘hot topics’ that you do not see in this programme but you would like to be included. In this case please feel free to add a ‘hot topic’ title (or subtopic of a proposed session) and if possible suggest a relevant thought-leader who could organise the session and select suitable speakers.

For those sessions where you wish to make a suggestion for an organiser or contributor or the title of a subtopic, please complete the relevant bow before saving the file and returning to the sender. There is a box available for ‘hot topics’ if you feel something is missing that is timely and should be aired in Lyon 2025.
This letter has been sent to a number of representatives from each national Society – please discuss your ideas collectively and return one form on behalf of your National Association before the end of next month (deadline 29th February).
