Target Audience 

EAPS 2024 is the global meeting place for clinicians, researchers, and physicians in the field of pediatrics and its sub-specialties. Because of the diverse, clinically focused educational offering, participants are able to tailor the curriculum to meet the needs of international clinicians of all levels of experience.

Educational Objectives   

For EAPS 2024, the assessment process involved an expert planning committee of leading paediatricians and researchers who meticulously reviewed feedback from previous congresses, current literature, and their own professional experiences. This process identified key educational needs, including the need for updates on breakthroughs in paediatrics and neonatal care, the latest research in genomics and multi-omics, advancements in gene therapy, the integration of machine learning in clinical practice, and the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in paediatric and neonatal care. Additionally, the congress will address emerging trends in imaging, critical care nutrition, and provide mentorship opportunities for young researchers. These identified needs will guide the development of the congress program to ensure it aligns with the latest scientific developments and clinical care practices, fostering a harmonious blend of research and practical application.
