Set in one of Europe’s leading medical and academic hubs, ECIM 2026 offers a unique opportunity to stay at the forefront of clinical practice, research and education while connecting with a truly international medical community.
A Congress Covering the Full Spectrum of Internal Medicine

Participants can expect plenary lectures from internationally recognised experts, focused symposia, interactive clinical case discussions and educational sessions tailored to both experienced internists and physicians in training.
Education, Interaction and Career Development
Beyond traditional lectures, ECIM places strong emphasis on interaction and engagement. Case-based sessions, panel discussions and audience participation formats encourage dialogue and the exchange of real-world experience. Special sessions are dedicated to young internists, offering educational pathways, mentoring opportunities and insights into career development within internal medicine.
Poster sessions and abstract presentations provide a platform for researchers and clinicians to present new data, discuss innovative approaches and receive feedback from peers and experts.
