The Congress of the European Academy of Paediatric Societies (EAPS) | | 24–27 September 2026

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 ESID, 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.

The EAPS 2026 Committee brings together leading clinicians and researchers who actively shape the scientific direction of paediatrics and neonatology.

Among them is Clara Franco-Jarava, PhD, Clinical Immunology specialist at Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR). Her work focuses on the diagnosis and management of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) and rare immunological disorders, combining advanced diagnostics with translational research to improve patient care. Her expertise spans Primary Immunodeficiencies, complex functional and molecular diagnostics, and conditions such as CVID, HLH, and hereditary angioedema.

will bring together international experts for four days of science, clinical updates, and networking opportunities, with a programme designed across all aspects of child health and paediatrics.

On the International Day of the Midwife, the connection between maternal care and paediatric outcomes is clear.

A major modelling study published in The Lancet Global Health shows that near-universal midwifery coverage could prevent a substantial proportion of maternal and neonatal deaths, as well as stillbirths. Even steady increases in coverage lead to meaningful improvements in survival.

For paediatric professionals, these early-life interventions are directly linked to the health trajectories seen in clinical practice - from neonatal care through to long-term outcomes.

At , the programme reflects this continuum, with sessions that address the challenges and decisions shaping child health from the very beginning.

How can vaccination safety in pregnancy, for both mother and baby, be assessed?

This case-based module places you at the centre of a consultation with a 29-year-old patient at 28 weeks’ gestation, facing heightened concern after a local Chikungunya outbreak and adverse neonatal outcomes in her community.

Explore how to balance disease risk, vaccine benefits, and limited evidence to support informed, patient-centred decision-making in emergency pathogen scenarios.

Strengthen your approach to vaccination counselling in pregnancy when it matters most.

World Immunization Week is a moment to reflect on what vaccination has made possible in paediatrics.

Since 1974, global immunisation efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives - contributing to 40% of the improvement in infant survival worldwide. From measles prevention to polio eradication and the introduction of vaccines for HPV, RSV, and malaria, the impact is both measurable and ongoing.

At , infectious diseases, vaccination, and immunology are part of a broader scientific programme designed to address real-world challenges across paediatrics - from prevention to long-term outcomes.

EAPS 2026 brings together paediatric professionals for four days of scientific exchange, discussion, and collaboration across subspecialties.

With 100+ international speakers, plenary lectures, and sessions designed for interaction, the programme creates space not only for learning, but for meaningful professional connections.

In a city like Athens, those conversations don’t necessarily stop when sessions end. Places such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus often become natural extensions of the congress environment where discussions continue, ideas are exchanged, and connections are strengthened in a different setting.

The European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) has joined us as a collaborating society!

ESPE is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of clinical care for infants, children, and adolescents living with endocrine disorders worldwide. With a multidisciplinary membership of approximately 1,500 paediatric endocrinologists, alongside basic and clinical scientists and nurses, ESPE plays a key role in advancing both research and clinical practice in this field.

Its annual meeting brings together over 3,500 delegates, and through its international Schools and Academies, ESPE continues to support education, collaboration, and shared learning across regions - including in less advantaged and underserved settings.

As part of EAPS 2026, this collaboration strengthens the exchange of knowledge across paediatrics and reinforces a shared commitment to improving outcomes for young people with endocrine conditions.
