About the Congress
The European Congress on Tropical Medicine and International Health (ECTMIH), is a biennial event that convenes the global health community to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and shape the future of global health. Initiated by FESTMIH in 1995, ECTMIH is the premier forum for driving debate on global health equity and scientific innovation. Since its first edition, ECTMIH has grown into a key platform connecting stakeholders from Europe and low- and middle-income countries.
After 16 years, ECTMIH returns to Barcelona. Organised by ISGlobal in partnership with FESTMIH and SEMTSI, this biennial congress unites students, young and experienced researchers, policymakers, and global thinkers from all over the world to shape the future of international health and cooperation.
Who Should Attend
Why ECTMIH 2027
