Welcome Address

Welcome to the 39th Annual Meeting of the European Academy of Childhood Disability (EACD) 2027, taking place in Athens, Greece, from 9–12 June 2027, at the iconic Megaron Athens Concert Hall.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are delighted to invite you to join one of Europe’s leading multidisciplinary congresses dedicated to childhood-onset disabilities. Guided by the vision “Empowering Abilities, Building Inclusive Futures” and inspired by “Innovations that Empower Every Ability,” EACD 2027 will bring together clinicians, researchers, therapists, educators, policymakers, advocates, industry leaders, and families from across the world.

Athens, a city where history, culture, science, and innovation meet, offers an inspiring setting for scientific exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and meaningful partnerships. Through a dynamic scientific program, interactive discussions, and networking opportunities, the congress aims to advance research, accessibility, inclusion, and innovation in pediatric disability care.

Accessibility, sustainability, and inclusivity remain at the heart of our vision. Together with our partners and supporters, we are committed to creating a welcoming and impactful congress experience where every participant can engage, connect, and contribute.

We warmly invite you to support and participate in EACD 2027, helping shape a future where every child’s potential is empowered through knowledge, collaboration, and care.

We look forward to welcoming you to Athens.

Warm regards,
The Organizing Committee EACD 2027 – Athens
