The Emirates Scholar Center for Research & Studies — in partnership with the Zayed Authority for People of Determination and the Emirates Medical Association, and in collaboration with the European Medical Association and the Arab Med Union in Europe — welcomes you to the European Arab Medical Congress (EAMC), 11-13 Dec 2026, in Abu Dhabi.
This year EAMC convenes under the theme Advancing Mental Health and Rehabilitation for Sustainable Wellbeing, placing mental health and rehabilitation at the centre of a wider conversation about sustainable wellbeing and the strength of the family — in full alignment with the UAE's Year of Family. Across three days, an international speakers of clinicians, scientists, policymakers and rehabilitation specialists will examine how the science of recovery can be made more durable, more inclusive and more deeply rooted in the families and communities it serves.
EAMC 2026 is at once a scientific congress and a platform for partnership. For the medical community it offers peer-reviewed science, accredited CME and practical learning across eight tracks; for partners it offers a credible, purpose-led platform aligned with a genuine social mission. Standard delegate registration is free — opening the science to the widest possible community.
Open access to the full scientific programme — maximising attendance and the audience our partners reach.
From Cologne in 1984 to Abu Dhabi in 2026, the European Arab Medical Congress has spent four decades building a transcontinental bridge between European and Arab medicine — convening across thirty-six editions in the great medical capitals of two regions.
Three ideas at the heart of EAMC 2026 — sustainable care, resilient families, and wellbeing as a shared societal investment.
Mental health that endures — built on prevention, early intervention, evidence-based care and lifelong resilience rather than crisis response alone.
The family as the first system of care — supporting caregivers, strengthening bonds, and recognising that recovery and wellbeing are shared journeys.
Health systems and societies designed for the long term — inclusive, technology-enabled, ethically grounded and accessible to every population.
Abu Dhabi combines world-class infrastructure, enduring stability and a national commitment to health, wellbeing and the inclusion of People of Determination — the natural home for a congress built to bridge medical traditions, at a moment when the global need for mental health and rehabilitation has never been greater.
