KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Bernama) -- The leadership of European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is reflecting on what they describe as a pivotal moment for the field, a month after the conclusion of EAACI Congress 2025 in Glasgow.
The congress is being hailed as a turning point in allergy and immunology, making headlines not only for its scale but also for the bold, forward-thinking message delivered by its leadership. Over 7,600 delegates attended.
Held from June 13 to 16 at Scottish Event Campus, the event embraced the theme, “Breaking Boundaries in Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology: Integrating Planetary Health for a Sustainable Future”, according to a statement.
“This year’s Congress was a turning point. We are entering an era where scientific innovation, equity in care, and environmental health must move forward together,” said EAACI President, Prof Maria Torres.
Meanwhile, EAACI Vice President Congresses, Prof André Moreira said: “The spirit of collaboration we witnessed in Glasgow was extraordinary. This energy is now translating into real-world initiatives and global partnerships.”
The programme featured over 250 hours of lectures, workshops, and symposia, covering groundbreaking advances in drug allergy, T2 inflammation, paediatric asthma, and hereditary angioedema.
A Presidential Symposium on antimicrobial resistance adopted a One Health approach, while a standout session on climate change and insect allergy spotlighted the ecological challenges reshaping patient care.
Beyond the conference halls, the congress activated the city of Glasgow through community engagement initiatives. The Clinical Village at the Glasgow Science Centre welcomed the public for interactive allergy education, and the Beat Allergy Walk & Run raised funds for the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, exemplifying EAACI’s commitment to public health and outreach.
EAACI 2025 also reinforced its priorities in mentorship, digital health innovation, and patient empowerment, signalling a holistic approach to the future of allergy and clinical immunology.
As the countdown begins for EAACI Congress 2026 in Istanbul, the society promises a full year of scientific engagement, including focused meetings and hands-on courses.
