ESSIC 2026 International Conference

ESSIC 2026 is a three-day international meeting for clinicians, researchers and multidisciplinary teams working in Bladder Pain Syndrome, interstitial cystitis and pelvi-perineal pain. Its scientific topics range from pathophysiology, microbiome and diagnostic criteria to bladder biopsy, imaging, pelvic-floor dysfunction, tailored treatment, surgery and new technologies.

The current abstract call closed on 30 July, with acceptance decisions due by 24 August. Submissions used the official online portal, which still links the organiser's guidelines and template. Those files do not render their detailed word limit or required headings in the public page, so those values remain unrecorded rather than inferred.

Fees are charged in euros. Current non-member rates are €450 for physicians and €250 for residents, nurses or care workers; students and patients pay €90, and workshops cost €40. The meeting is at 1 Wimpole Street, within walking distance of Oxford Circus and Bond Street stations. The preliminary programme says EACCME accreditation will be applied for, but it is not yet confirmed.
