EuGMS Congress

Event Notes:

The theme for the 2026 congress, “Optimizing Function: a Key to Healthy Ageing”, underscores the vital role of functional capacity in ensuring quality of life and independence as we age. In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, this focus is more important than ever. With an aging population across Europe and beyond, we must work together to identify and implement the most effective strategies for promoting physical, mental, and social well-being in older adults.

This year’s congress will again highlight the inclusive and interprofessional spirit of our society. Our diverse program will bring together clinicians, researchers, allied healthcare professionals, policy makers, educators, and trainees to exchange knowledge and experience. By fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, we aim to drive forward innovative solutions in geriatric care that are both sustainable and adaptable to various healthcare systems across Europe.

We also want to promote the integration of young and very young professionals engaged in geriatric medicine all over Europe, so that they can discover firsthand how dynamic the field of geriatric medicine is and that the EuGMS congress is the best place to meet!
