Dear Colleagues,
Following the great success of last year, we are delighted to invite you to participate at the second edition of the International Congress of Preventive Medicine, taking place on 19-20 March 2026 at the FACE Convention Center, Bucharest and 21 March 2026 workshop day, location to be announced.
Organized by the Romanian Society of Preventive Medicine, the event provides an international platform for exchanging ideas, best practices, and the latest advances in preventive medicine. It brings together specialists from all medical fields, representatives from governmental and academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and other key decision-makers in healthcare.
The Congress aims to focus sessions on key topics in preventive medicine, concluding with concrete recommendations for policymakers to support the implementation of scientific evidence into clinical practice. Session formats include concise 10-minute presentations (maximum 5 slides), followed by 30 minutes of guided discussions, with all presentations in English or Romanian and translation provided by the organizers.
We kindly ask you to submit a 200-word standard abstract by 15th March 2026, which will be published in the Romanian Journal of Preventive Medicine (MDPI). Additionally, we invite you to prepare a 1-minute message for the general public or healthcare professionals, to be recorded in the "Speaker Corner" and shared under the "Prevention Ambassador" initiative, with your consent.
Your presence and engagement are essential to making this edition a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and inspiring community, where excellence and innovation in preventive medicine are shared and translated into practice.
We look forward to welcoming you in Bucharest in March 2026, as we continue to strengthen an
international community committed to advancing preventive medicine.
