EFIC Congress 2027, Pain in Europe XV, runs in person at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow from 21 to 23 April 2027. It is built for the whole pain community: clinicians, researchers, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, allied health professionals, trainees and early-career researchers. The theme is Building Bridges in Pain: Thriving Through Communication.

The provisional programme spans plenary sessions, workshops, debates, masterclasses, focus sessions, industry sessions, guided poster walks and early-career activities across all three days. Named plenary contributors include Geert Crombez, Rohini Kuner, Kristian Petersen, Dawn Dowding, Ben Seymour, Nanna Brix Finnerup, Lene Vase, Markus Ploner, Patrik Ernfors and Greg Weir, with a Rising Stars plenary for early-career researchers.
