This year, the 14th Congress of the European Pain Federation EFIC will be held in Lyon, France from 24-26 April 2025. As Europe’s most important multi-disciplinary and multi-professional organisation in the field of pain science, we represent 39 constituent national pain societies with over 20,000 scientists, doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals. Our core domains of activity focus on education, research and advocacy.
Attending #EFIC2025 provides physicians with a unique opportunity to enhance their expertise in pain management through a variety of specialised sessions, from clinical masterclasses to hands-on workshops. With insights from leading global experts, attendees can deepen their understanding of cutting-edge pain treatments, multidisciplinary approaches, and emerging research in pain science. #EFIC2025 is ideal for pain clinicians owing to its emphasis on translating research into clinical practice, connecting the clinical community with research developments that they can apply in the clinic. The congress also offers a platform for networking and collaboration, enabling physicians to stay at the forefront of the latest advancements and best practices in the field.
