About the EADV Spring Symposium

Every year, the EADV Spring Symposium provides an exceptional opportunity for networking, bringing together healthcare professionals passionate about advancing their expertise and careers at a leading European event dedicated to skin and venereal health.

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,
As President of the EADV, I am honoured to welcome you to the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Spring Symposium, taking place in Prague from May 22nd – 24th 2025.
Spring Symposia hold a special place in the EADV calendar, emphasizing our continued commitment to European inclusiveness and allowing for an in-depth exploration of specific topics. For this much-anticipated event, we’ve chosen the Bohemian backdrop of Prague.
In Prague participants can expect to explore a rich programme curated by the Scientific Programming Committee with scientific content specifically focussing on viral infections and on new targeted treatments for inflammatory diseases. Moreover, “What’s new” sessions will cover the latest updates in the main fields of dermatology and venereology, such as skin cancer, psoriasis, STIs, hidradenitis suppurativa and lupus.
This year an increased number of “interactive clinical cases” sessions will offer a greater opportunity for the audience to actively participate to the delivery of the scientific content. “Free Communications” sessions will present the best valued abstracts from a vast number of submissions.
The anticipated Plenary lecture will be delivered by Professor Bohdan Pomahac, from Yale University who will intrigue us with the ‘many faces’ of full-face transplantation.
You are warmly invited to join us in the city of a Hundred Spires, where the union of knowledge and participation will create an unforgettable experience.

Uvidíme se v Praze!

Prof. Branka Marinovic
EADV President

Healthcare Professional definition

Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals
Access to the different areas and sessions of the Symposium depends on the Healthcare Professional status.

As a multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Symposium, the EADV will assign different classes to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCPs) to ensure compliance with the AIFP (Asociace inovativního farmaceutického průmyslu v České republice) Code of Practice.
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.

Definition
The AIFP code defines Healthcare Professionals as follows:
“any natural person that is a member of the medical, dental, pharmacy, or nursing professions or any other person who, in the course of his or her professional activities, may prescribe, purchase, supply, recommend or administer a Medicinal Product and whose primary practice, principal professional address or place of incorporation is in Europe.
For the purpose of AIFP Code, the definition of HCPs includes: any official or state employee, agency or other organization (whether in the public or private sector) that may prescribe, purchase, supply, recommend or administer Medicinal Products and any employee of a Member Company whose primary occupation is that of a practicing HCP, but excludes all other employees of a Member Company and a wholesaler or distributor of Medicinal Products.”

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

Industry sessions
Satellite Symposia 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.
