Message from the President

Dear Distinguished Colleagues,

It is with immense pleasure that I invite you to the EAACI Annual Congress 2026, taking place in the magnificent city of Istanbul, Türkiye, from 12 to 15 June 2026. This year, we unite under the bold and forward-looking theme “Vision Zero: A Future Free from Allergy and Asthma Burden”

This congress embodies our shared aspiration to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the global impact of allergic and respiratory diseases. It’s a vision grounded in science, strengthened by collaboration, and guided by compassion. Together, we will explore how innovation, prevention, and policy can converge to turn this vision into reality.

Our scientific programme will feature the latest breakthroughs in immunotherapy, environmental and genetic research, digital health, and preventive strategies. From early detection to global health equity, the sessions will inspire us to look beyond today’s challenges and toward a world where allergic and asthmatic diseases no longer define the lives of millions.

But beyond the lectures and symposia, the EAACI Congress remains a celebration of our community, an extraordinary network of professionals committed to improving patient care. Istanbul, with its unique blend of history, culture, and warmth, will offer the perfect stage for scientific discovery and human connection.

Join us as we move one step closer to a future free from allergy and asthma. Let’s make Vision Zero more than a theme, let’s make it our mission.

I look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul!

Yours sincerely,  
 

María Torres  
EAACI President
