Annual EDCTP Forum in Madrid in April 2027

The 13th EDCTP Forum will take place in Madrid (Spain) from 5-9 April 2027, providing a unique platform to deepen scientific cooperation between Europe and Africa.
Over the past 2 decades, the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) Forum has evolved to become a cornerstone event for global health research, bringing together leading voices advancing the fight against infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. It showcases the latest scientific breakthroughs, highlights impactful capacity-building efforts, and creates a space for vibrant cross-regional collaboration. 

The programme includes plenary sessions, parallel sessions, prize-giving ceremonies, an exhibition of posters, scientific symposia, workshops, field visits, and countless opportunities for networking. 

The EDCTP Forum 2027 expects to convene 1 500 participants and stakeholders, from researchers, universities and clinicians to governments, regional bodies, civil society, regulators, and public and private R&D partners, drawing participation primarily from Africa and Europe.
