EADV Congress scientific programme
Every year, the EADV Scientific Programming Committee prepares a captivating and inspiring 4-day agenda across more than 170 sessions catering to the expectations of both young dermatologists-venereologists and seasoned professionals.
Welcome letter from the SPC Chair
Dear Collegues and Friends,
This year’s event brings together science, clinical excellence, and innovation to shape the future of dermatology and venereology.
With more than 600 expert speakers and record-breaking participation, the Congress promises to be a truly inspiring experience.
The scientific program features our core tracks, Updates, Training and Education, and Controversies, along with Focus on sessions dedicated to key global challenges: sexually transmitted infections, pigmentation disorders, and hair disorders. New topics this year include off-label use of medications, emerging viral infections, personalized approaches in clinical practice, global health, nutrition and dermatology, and a joint EADV/JDA session on faces of skin diseases from East to West.
Highlights include the second edition of the EADV GAMES, dedicated resident case presentations, and The Hot Seat, where residents challenge international experts. The plenary sessions will showcase advances in inflammatory skin diseases, genetics, infectious diseases, systemic therapies, and cutting-edge technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence.
We are honored to open with a keynote lecture by Lucy Cooke, renowned zoologist, author, and broadcaster, who will share unique lessons from the natural world on behavior, evolution, and leadership.
With more than 5,300 abstract submissions, the latest research will be presented in Late-Breaking News sessions, Free Communications, and ePoster showcases. Hands-on Workshops, Subspecialty Sessions, and Controversies sessions will round out a diverse and stimulating program.
For those unable to attend in person, the Congress will be fully live-streamed, making it accessible worldwide.
Join us in Paris, or online, for what promises to be an unforgettable 34th EADV Congress.
With warm regards,
The EADV Scientific Programming Committee

Session tracks
At the EADV Congress, a variety of session formats address the most relevant topics in dermatology and venereology.
Each subject is explored through diverse approaches and perspectives, tailored to the type and structure of the session.
Plenary sessions ↓
Plenary lectures are EADV show-case sessions and include key-note lectures delivered by eminent scientists and doctors.
Focus on ↓
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.
Updates ↓
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.
Controversies ↓
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.
ePoster showcase ↓
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.
Training and education ↓
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.
