Conferences & Events

The European Society of Pathology (ESP) and the Swedish Society of Pathology warmly invite you to the 38th European Congress of Pathology (ECP 2026), taking place at Stockholmsmässan in Stockholm from 12–16 September 2026. ECP 2026 will bring together more than 5,000 pathologists, clinicians, researchers, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, medical scientists, and industry partners for professional development, networking, and knowledge exchange. Under the motto “Innovation Driving Excellence in Pathology,” the congress will highlight the impact of innovation on diagnostics, prognosis, therapy response, and clinical practice.

An zwei Stationen können Auszubildende und Schüler:innen erleben, wie sie zunächst in einer webbasierten Umgebung zum Trainieren einfacher KI‑Modelle eine eigene KI zur Gewebeanalyse bauen – und anschließend ein echtes medizinisches Forschungstool nutzen, um mit realen Bilddaten zu arbeiten. So wird der Weg von der Lern‑KI zum praxisnahen Forschungstool konkret erlebbar und zeigt, wie KI‑gestützte Bildanalyse in der Medizin eingesetzt werden kann.

Wie verändert Künstliche Intelligenz die Medizin? Was bedeutet sie für den Alltag in Klinik und Praxis? Und wie profitieren Patient:innen konkret von diesen Entwicklungen?

The International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), one of the world's leading conferences in artificial intelligence, will take place from August 15 to 21, 2026, in Bremen, Germany, jointly with the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI). Bringing together around 3,500 to 4,000 researchers and industry experts from around the globe, the conference provides a premier forum for presenting and discussing the latest advances in AI research and applications.

The 22nd European Congress on Digital Pathology (ECDP 2026), taking place 17–20 June 2026 in Graz, Austria, will bring together experts from pathology, computer science, molecular biology, clinical medicine, and industry to advance collaboration in digital and computational pathology. The congress will focus on integrating digital pathology into routine diagnostics, highlighting whole slide imaging, AI-driven tools, molecular profiling, standardized data infrastructures, and clinical workflow integration.

The European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) will hold its 32nd Annual Scientific Meeting in Salzburg, Austria, from 4–6 June 2026. The scientific programme will highlight the latest advances and future trends in thoracic imaging, covering CT, MRI, interventional radiology, lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, and AI applications. It will also include interactive sessions, multidisciplinary discussions, and industry-sponsored symposia to encourage collaboration across specialties and institutions.

In view of the rapid developments in pathology and its revolutionary innovations for the analysis of cells and tissues, the 109th DGP Annual Meeting will take place in Augsburg from May 28 to 30, 2026 under the motto "UNITED IN SCIENCE | Crossing lines | Creating knowledge"

Under the Motto “Radiology Without Borders", the 107th RÖKO will take place from May 13 to 15 at the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL). The accompanying industry exhibition offers insights into new developments and technologies.

The International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) is a multi-disciplinary nonprofit association that promotes innovation, development, and application of magnetic resonance techniques in medicine and biology worldwide. The 35th Annual Meeting is a conference and exhibition to be held in Cape Town, South Africa from May 9–14, 2026.
