Bring the conference together in your city
EUSTM invites institutions and partners to co-host its biennial congresses — we are now accepting proposals for the 2027 and 2029 meetings.
The European Society for Translational Medicine (EUSTM) is a neutral, non-profit professional society registered in Vienna, Austria whose objective is to enhance worldwide healthcare by accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries into therapeutics. Each congress is a core forum for ground-breaking research and clinical developments under a single defined theme.
Recognition & benefits
Hosting an EUSTM congress positions your institution at the centre of an international scientific gathering, with tangible recognition and visibility.
Co-Organiser Status
The local host is positioned as co-organiser of the congress, with recognition and benefits agreed mutually with EUSTM.
National & Regional Visibility
The congress provides coverage and visibility for the host at national and regional level, as mutually desired.
Global Profile
For hosts on another continent, a Joint EU–Host Continent Congress raises the local institution’s work and profile on the world stage.
A particularly strong proposal may also be considered for a dedicated EUSTM Clinical Congress series in the local sponsor’s area of interest.
Preparing a proposal
A proposal may be prepared by a city convention bureau or a professional congress organiser — but in every case it must be supported by a local host.
Should be a university, hospital, research institution, or national association or society — well reputed and actively engaged in the proposed theme.
Ideally the host has strong local industry connections (pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical devices) to support sponsorship and help recruit local delegates.
The host may propose any of the conference themes, aligned to its institutional strengths and local expertise.

Considerations & criteria
Each proposal is evaluated on the destination’s ability to meet a set of minimum criteria. Among the factors EUSTM considers:
The local host is actively involved in one of the EUSTM preferred themes.
The host holds a strong scientific or clinical reputation.
There is clear potential to recruit local delegates from the country or region.
The destination is accessible by major modes of travel.
The collaboration offers meaningful synergies between EUSTM and the host organisation.
A site visit is conducted for each location under consideration, including a meeting with the local bid committee.
Please note: financial terms for each congress — including cost coverage, honoraria, and any revenue arrangements between EUSTM and the host — are agreed transparently on an event-specific basis and set out in a written agreement for that congress.
