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.
#EFIC2025 offers Early Career Researchers (ECRs) valuable opportunities to advance their careers, present research, and build connections. ECRs can showcase their work in dedicated sessions, join advice panels for practical career tips, and participate in networking events to engage with peers and industry experts. Additionally, first-timer and poster sessions help attendees navigate the congress and connect their research to high-level themes, making #EFIC2025 an ideal platform for learning, inspiration, and collaboration in pain science.
