Committed to supporting the lifelong learning of young dermatologists and venereologists, EADV offers several means for you to attend the 2025 EADV Congress with scholarships or reduced registration fees.
Access to the different areas and sessions of the Congress depends on Healthcare Professional status.
As a multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Congress, the EADV will assign different classes to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCPs) to ensure compliance with the Austrian Pharmaceutical industry (PHARMIG) Code of Conduct and the medical device industry code of conduct (AUSTROMED) (Kodex und Statuten der AUSTROMED – Erklärvideo).
Please read the description below to ensure that you (or your delegates) comply with the regulations in place.
EADV members are not automatically considered Healthcare Professionals
Please select the correct status (HCP or non-HCP) during registration.
The PHARMIG code defines Healthcare Professionals as follows (art. 2.2):
“Healthcare Professional:
“…any natural person(s) authorized to administer, to dispense, and to prescribe medicinal products such as doctors, pharmacists, dental practitioners, veterinarians, dentists, midwives, nursing professionals, medical technicians, medical service professionals, and other medical services organizations, provided that such medicinal products are necessary for the discharge of their duties.”
Medical students are not considered Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as Non-Healthcare ProfessionalsSatellite Symposia and Industry Hub Sessions presenting data on the development, research, or other issues related to prescription medicine is restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants as indicated by the Industry Session Organizer.
All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs.
Industry Session organisers can limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to achieving the session’s intended purpose. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, particularly if they are not adequately related to the session’s objective and purpose.
The industry session organiser is responsible for compliance with the session.
