About the EADV Congress

The annual EADV Congress showcases the latest science, research, and best practices across all areas of dermato-venereology, offering hands-on workshops, sub-specialty sessions, and industry presentations that cover the full spectrum of dermatology and venereology topics.

In addition to its diverse scientific programme, the Congress will feature a large exhibition area where attendees can explore the latest technologies, treatments, and products.

Letter from the President

Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Esteemed Members of the EADV Community,

It is with great pride and anticipation that I welcome you to the EADV Congress 2025, set against the vibrant backdrop of Paris—a city synonymous with elegance, culture, and innovation. As we gather at the Paris Convention Centre, we unite once again to celebrate the very best in dermatology and venereology.

This year’s Congress promises to be our most dynamic yet. With over 180 scientific sessions, 600+ expert speakers, 25+ dedicated subspecialty tracks, and 10 powerful plenary lectures, our programme reflects the incredible depth and breadth of our field. We are especially excited to host abstract-based free communications, late-breaking research highlights, and a residents-targeted session, ensuring opportunities for every level of expertise and interest. And of course, we look forward to the second edition of the EADV Games, where science meets a fun rivalry.

Our robust scientific agenda is complemented by a vast exhibition area—an interactive space to explore cutting-edge technologies, treatments, and products that are shaping the future of patient care. It is here that science meets innovation, and where collaboration is born.

Importantly, this year marks a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability. The EADV is proud to integrate eco-conscious initiatives throughout the Congress, from recyclable materials and digital signage to sustainable catering and climate-focused scientific sessions. In partnership with industry leaders and through thoughtful logistical planning—including a transportation pass for all full-congress delegates—we aim to reduce our environmental footprint and set new standards for responsible event management.

We invite all attendees to participate in our climate awareness survey and join the dialogue on how dermatology intersects with the changing global environment. Together, we are shaping not only the future of our specialty but contributing to a more sustainable world.

Whether you are attending your first EADV Congress or are a returning participant, I encourage you to make the most of every session, every conversation, and every opportunity this Congress offers. Let Paris inspire your curiosity, challenge your thinking, and reignite your passion for the work we do.

On behalf of the EADV Executive Committee, welcome to EADV Congress 2025. Let this gathering be a celebration of our shared purpose, a platform for progress, and a powerful testament to the strength of our global community.

With warmest regards,

Prof. Branka Marinovic
EADV President
