MedicMess Tips

  • Current 2027 information is save-the-date level only; recheck the EFRR page for the call for abstracts before relying on any adjacent-cycle submission detail.
  • Use conference@ul.ie for advance enquiries; do not assume registration, fee or abstract deadlines until EFRR publishes them.
  • Adjacent EFRR cycles used oral/lecture presentations, posters, e-posters and workshops, with archive categories spanning neurorehabilitation, paediatrics, pain, vocational rehabilitation, technologies and participation research.
  • The 2025 proceedings were published as a journal supplement, which is useful evidence for portfolio value but not a guarantee of the 2027 publication route.
  • The 2017 brochure asked oral presenters to upload slides at least one hour before their session and to attend scheduled poster viewing windows; verify any 2027 presenter rules when released.
Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

EFRR 2027 remains a save-the-date conference for rehabilitation researchers and clinicians at the University of Limerick, 19-21 August 2027. The current page confirms the theme, "Making evidence work in practice: involvement, innovation and implementation", and gives conference@ul.ie for advance enquiries, but it does not yet publish registration, abstract submission, faculty, CPD or programme pages. The richer evidence comes from EFRR's own archive and should be treated as adjacent-cycle guidance only. The 2025 Budapest abstract supplement was published in Rehabilitáció, volume 35, supplement 1, and the supplement itself notes that EFRR conference proceedings have historically been published as supplements to the International Journal of Rehabilitation Research. The 2025 programme contained 12 lecture sessions plus a poster session; the 2023 abstract book shows oral-presentation and e-poster sections with abstract sessions across pain medicine, neurorehabilitation, paediatric rehabilitation, low back pain, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation and miscellaneous topics. The 2017 congress brochure gives practical presenter details: oral speakers uploaded slides at least one hour before presenting, posters had set-up/take-down windows and staffed viewing periods, and best research oral and poster prizes were offered. None of those specifications are confirmed for 2027 yet, so trainees should use them as a checklist for what to look for when the Limerick call opens rather than as current rules.
