CONGRESS

PARIS
17-20 SEPT 2025

Session tracks

Sessions of different formats will cover the most important topics in dermatology and venereology. Subjects will be treated with different approaches and from different perspectives depending on the type and structure of the session.

Plenary lectures are EADV show-case sessions and include key-note lectures delivered by eminent scientists and doctors.

These sessions aim at providing comprehensive in-depth coverage of a certain topic in dermatology. The talks will be included in sessions on pathophysiology/epidemiology, clinical challenges, or practical aspects of disease management and will provide the latest cutting-edge information.

These sessions will enable participants to update their knowledge on a specific topic and hear about the most relevant and recent developments, guidelines and practical knowledge from the past year. The talks will summarize the current understanding of the subject, followed by an update on the most recent novelties with their impact on clinical practice.

Controversial topics in dermatology will be discussed from different points of view in the form of a debate, giving delegates extensive insights into the latest findings.

A selection of the best ePosters made by the scientific programming committee will be orally presented in the ePoster Showcase (EPS) sessions. In addition to submitting their ePosters, the authors will have the possibility to present their findings to the audience in a 7-minutes oral presentation.

Each of the six ePoster showcase sessions will be structured with a series of 12 ePoster oral presentations, followed by a final Q&A closure of 6 minutes.

These lectures focus on a specific disease and include basic information about epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and prognosis. The target audience of these sessions is young dermatology trainees and residents, as well as dermatologists that want to refresh their basic knowledge on specific topics. 

Authors of the most highly ranked abstracts assessed by a selected panel of abstract reviewers are invited to provide a 10-minute oral presentation.

Sessions organised and delivered by groups, EADV Task Forces and Committees such as the Project Proposal Review Committee, the Ethics Committee or the JEADV.

The EADV will host a quiz for residents during the congress, an event which will gather 18 European countries to compete against each other in a thrilling quiz focusing on various Dermatology topics.

Workshops are a great opportunity to immediately implement newly learned skills, to gain practical experience and quickly acquire knowledge on the subject. Workshops also promote interaction between instructors and participants.

* Workshops need to be purchased in advance and have limited capacity

Join us for a dedicated workshop series designed specifically for allied healthcare professionals! On Saturday, we will feature an entire track dedicated to Nurses, offering valuable insights, and opportunities for networking.

Skin microbiome: its role in acne and hidradenitis suppurativa

In this presentation, we explore how skin microbiome dysbiosis contributes to acne and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Acne involves C. acnes phylotype IA1 dominance and S. epidermidis imbalance, while HS is linked to biofilm-related inflammation. We also highlight emerging microbiome-based therapies and personalized skincare approaches.

Letter from the EADV Scientific Programming Committee

Michel Gilliet EADV

Dear Colleagues,
A warm welcome to the 33rd EADV Congress in Amsterdam! We are thrilled to present an outstanding program that showcases the very best in dermatology. This year’s congress is packed with cutting-edge advancements and practical insights on how to integrate these innovations into your clinical practice.

With 600 exceptional speakers, each carefully selected for their expertise, you’ll experience an array of engaging talks covering the entire spectrum of dermatology.
Our mission is to make this the most unforgettable dermatology congress ever—a gathering that truly has something for everyone. Whether you’re from academia, private practice, or just starting your career, this congress is designed with you in mind.

As in the past, we’ve organized sessions into “Updates,” “Training and Education,” and “Controversies,” with the ever-popular “Focus on” sessions diving deep into hot topics like bullous diseases, hidradenitis suppurativa, and cutaneous lymphomas.

This year, we’re placing a special emphasis on the future of dermatology with a full-day “Resident’s Track,” crafted by and for young dermatology professionals. And don’t miss the thrilling EADV GAMES—a dermatology quiz where residents from 18 European countries will battle it out for the top spot. It’s going to be a competition like no other!

Our plenary talks will feature nine world-renowned speakers addressing the hottest topics in dermatology today, from neoadjuvant therapy in melanoma to the role of artificial intelligence, climate change, JAK inhibitors, pustular psoriasis, and STIs. Be sure not to miss the Opening Lecture by the legendary explorer Bertrand Piccard, who will deliver an inspiring message on resilience, drawing from his epic, solar-powered journey around the world.

This year, we’ve set a new record with the number of abstract submissions—over 4’200! We’ve handpicked the most groundbreaking research to be featured in the Late-Breaking News sessions, Free Communications, and our newly introduced e-poster showcase sessions.

Our Congress will continue to offer “Hands-on Workshops,” a cherished tradition. And last but not least, “Subspecialty Sessions” will be held on Wednesday morning and Saturday early afternoon, with in-depth explorations of specific topics.

If you can’t join us in person, you can still participate virtually, with live-streamed sessions available on our Congress online platform.

Join us in Amsterdam and help us make the 2024 EADV Congress an extraordinary and unforgettable experience!

Michel Gilliet
Chair of the Scientific Programming Committee, EADV

Healthcare Professional definition

  1. Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals

    Access to the different areas and sessions of the Congress depends on the 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 French Les Entreprises du Medicament (Leem) Rules of Professional Conduct (Dispositions Deontologiques Professionnelles (DDP)).

    Specifically, HCPs are classified into the following groups: medical doctors, nursing and midwifery professionals, dentists, pharmacists, professionals involved in rehabilitation, and technical paramedical professionals.

    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.

  1. Definition
    The DDP code defines HCPs as follows:
    “Healthcare Professional: An individual who is a member of a healthcare profession regulated by the French Public Health Code, regardless of whether he or she is a civil servant or public official, or any other person practising in France who, in the course of his/her professional activities, may prescribe, purchase, dispense, recommend or administer a Medicinal Product. This definition does not apply to Healthcare Professionals employed by Companies, wholesalers or distributors, excluding those whose primary occupation is that of a practising Healthcare Professional.”

    Medical students
    are not considered Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as Non-Healthcare Professionals.
  1. Industry sessions
    Satellite 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.
