What & Who
The 16th European Epilepsy Congress (EEC 2026) is the upcoming biennial congress of ILAE — the world’s leading association for professionals in epileptology.
When & Where
The event takes place 5–9 September 2026 in Athens, Greece.
Purpose & Scope
EEC 2026 brings together neurologists, researchers, clinicians and allied professionals to exchange the newest research on epilepsy, discuss clinical practice and advances, and foster collaboration across Europe and beyond. The congress builds on previous editions — e.g., after a successful format in 2024 in Rome, posters and scientific exchange will continue to be a central feature.
Call for Participation
Researchers and clinicians are invited to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentation. There is also an open call for session proposals to shape the congress programme. Submission deadline: 6 February 2026.
Why It Matters
As one of the largest epilepsy-focused gatherings in Europe, EEC 2026 offers a rare chance to engage with peers, stay up to date on best practice, and contribute to shaping future research and care standards worldwide.
