The EAPC World Congress is a leading international forum for interdisciplinary education, research, and professional exchange in the field of palliative care. More than 2,000 participants from around the world are expected to attend, including physicians, nurses, researchers, health and social care professionals, academics, educators, and volunteers.
This event provides a key platform to share knowledge, build networks, and explore innovations aimed at improving the practice, teaching, and learning of palliative care. The growing relevance of palliative care in society is reflected in the increasing interest this congress generates each year.
The participation of our researchers in this prestigious congress highlights our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in the field of palliative care.
