The European CMT Research Association (ECRA) plans the 2nd European CMT Specialist Conference in Antwerp, Belgium from Thursday 23 to Saturday 25 October 2025.
Given the rapid advances in the CMT research field, the congress will be an ECRA initiative complementing the CMTR special interest group within the Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS), an international organization of physicians and scientists working together to develop and provide the best treatments for people who have peripheral nerve diseases. The 2nd European CMT Specialist Conference is expected to attract approximately 150 clinicians and scientists. The program will consist of two full days of platform and poster sessions with emphasis on enhancing networking. All aspects of CMT, as an inherited neuropathy, will be covered: from basic science to genetic diagnosis and clinical management, therapy development, clinical outcome measures and clinical trials. A main priority for the meeting is mentorship and development of junior scientists and clinicians. To that end, part of the money raised to support the Conference are used for travel fellowships for junior attendees as has been done in the past, part to be able to support the meeting organization.
We hope to welcome you all for this inspiring event!
