Dear colleagues,
Obstetricians and Gynaecologists from all over the world take the opportunity to meet up at the EBCOG’s European Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, usually once every two years. Having moved from Torino to Paris and from Athens to Krakow, amongst many other locations over the past decades, the lovely city of Frankfurt was now decided to celebrate the 29th Edition of this reuniting meeting, one of the few still gathering nearly all branches of our specialty in a single event.
From the 5th to the 7th of June, 2025, we will follow tradition after pandemics and move for three whole days to the EBCOG Congress in order to share this special moment and learn from some of the most experienced and knowledgeable colleagues in the world.
But as tradition is not what it used to be, active participation and innovation will be our cornerstone. The mobile phone “App” will guide us through the program, with the possibility to interact with speakers. There will be pre-recorded live surgery, live scanning and breakfast sessions including the popular “stump the expert”, as well as nine exciting keynote lectures at the key moments of each day.
The scientific program is filled with high quality sessions and aims at pleasing all audiences: consultants, trainees, embriologists, midwives, nurses and students. Everyone is invited to present their work and share research after the selection process, incorporating the program alongside invited speakers. We will also have an opportunity to get in touch with the latest news from the Industry section, strongly supporting the meeting and trying to bring us new opportunities and evolutions.
The theoretical knowledge sessions are separate from the skills sessions, allowing tutors and participants to attend both kinds without any interference. There will be sessions with the subspecialties, sister organizations like World Health Organisation (WHO Europe), FIGO and UNFPA, for basic knowledge, video presentations and multidisciplinary action, counting on the presence of distinguished colleagues from other specialties closely related to ours. This is also an ideal opportunity to promote networking at all levels for women’s health.
The two types of skills sessions will be based upon the level of practical exposure: hands-on-training and interactive sessions. We will have the chance to greet the new Fellows of EBCOG (EFOGs) in the closing ceremony, where we will also be presenting the five EBCOG/ENTOG awards for best work.
Congress Registration and Abstract Submission will be opened soon. Further and updated information will be available here: https://www.ebcog-congress.eu
