We are excited to join the Paediatric Research for the Future of Children 2026 Global Forum. This exciting event organised by The European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) and the Society for Pediatric Research (SPR), together with the University of Geneva and Geneva University Hospital will be held in in Geneva, Switzerland on 11-13 February 2026.
EPTRI, represented by its treasurer and Board Member, Dr. Marel Migdal, will be delivering a poster focusing on the path from its inception to the recognition as a legal entity, the different Thematic Research Platforms (TRPs) within EPTRI – Paediatric Diseases Characterisation, Paediatric Medicines Development, Paediatric Medical Devices Development, Paediatric Clinical Research, Paediatric Health Data – and the services we offer as a coordinated, distributed infrastructure, aiming at reducing fragmentation, foster collaboration, and accelerate innovation in paediatric medicines and devices. Furthermore, the poster also features EPTRI’s collaborations with major European research infrastructures and initiatives, including INFRAFRONTIER-ERIC, INSTRUCT-ERIC, ELIXIR, TRANSFORM, Enpr-EMA, EOSC, and the European Health Coalition, to strengthen alignment, interoperability, and shared standards for paediatric research within European health policy and the wider research community.
The Paediatric Research for the Future of Children 2026 Global Forum spans a diverse range of topics in paediatric research, including:
- Precision Medicine & Novel Therapies in Paediatrics
- Big Data in Paediatric Research
- Child Mental Health and Development
- Early Life Determinants of Health and Disease
- Promoting Global Paediatric Research and Paediatric Clinician Scientists
EPTRI’s participation in this forum is a great opportunity to network, promote EPTRI services and strengthen collaboration among paediatric researchers, clinicians, innovators, and institutional stakeholders from around the globe.
