The world of congresses
In congresses, knowledge takes shape and is shared. Scientific and technical communities come together to exchange ideas, guide research and imagine the future. They are key moments for advancing science and innovation on a global scale.

Professions and challenges of working in congresses
Behind the conception and organisation of every congress are professionals with different specialisations. To learn more about what they do, explore the “Professional roles” section.
Working in congresses means creating spaces for knowledge, facilitating dialogue and contributing to scientific progress. Those who work in this field collaborate with scientific, technical or professional communities, following projects that span different disciplines and sectors. Every congress is an opportunity to connect people, circulate ideas, support research and give visibility to excellence.
It is a complex role that requires precision, curiosity, continuous updating and strong listening skills: every congress has its own identity, its own audience and its own objectives. Designing it means knowing how to translate complex content into shared experiences.
The future of congresses is green
Congresses have always been important spaces for the advancement of knowledge and dialogue among scientific, academic, and economic communities. In an era in which sustainability is a global priority, the role of congresses becomes even more central.
It is within congresses that research is shared, future scenarios are defined, and common solutions are built to address the major challenges of our time, from global health to the ecological transition.
Medicine, science, technology, and sustainability intersect to generate positive and lasting impacts on society.
Beyond content, the organisation of a congress can—and must—also be sustainable. From choosing venues that are easily accessible by low-impact transport, to using recycled materials and digitizing content, every detail can help reduce the environmental footprint. On a social level, congresses promote inclusion, international collaboration, and equitable access to knowledge.
Congresses therefore emerge as active platforms for sustainability: spaces for thought and action where the future takes shape.
