The EAPS trademark — without prior knowledge or consent of EAP— was registered by a multinational professional congress organiser (PCO) with whom the EAP collaborated up until 2024.
The EAP will no longer be involved in the organisation of the European Academy of Paediatric Societies (EAPS) congress.
Starting in 2025, EAPS congress will become an annual, commercial initiative organised by this PCO with no scientific input from the EAP.
The EAP Congress and MasterCourse 2025 and CEPAS are society-led international meetings, featuring world-class scientific programmes that empower a diverse community of clinicians, researchers, nurses, allied health professionals, children, and parents. These congresses are dedicated to developing research and applying it to practical care and policy–from bench to bedside and beyond. We aim to unite paediatric professionals to advance child health through innovative research, education, and collaboration–beyond purely commercial interests.
