EASL Congress 2026

ELPA actively participated in EASL Congress 2026, held in Barcelona, Spain, from May 27–30, 2026.

As Europe’s leading congress dedicated to liver health, the event brought together thousands of healthcare professionals, researchers, industry partners, policymakers, and patient advocates from around the world to discuss the latest advances in hepatology and liver disease care. Throughout the congress, ELPA reinforced the importance of ensuring that the patient perspective remains at the centre of research, policy development, and clinical practice. The event provided valuable opportunities to engage with key stakeholders across the liver community, strengthen existing collaborations, and contribute to discussions on improving outcomes for people living with liver diseases. A particular highlight was the active involvement of ELPA representatives in congress activities and stakeholder discussions, demonstrating the growing recognition of patients as essential partners in liver health research and care. Through these exchanges, ELPA continued to advocate for better prevention, earlier diagnosis, equitable access to treatment, and improved quality of life for patients across Europe.
