About ECTRIMS Congress
The ECTRIMS Congress, organised by the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis, is the world's largest congress devoted to MS research and care. The 43rd congress takes place at the Austria Center Vienna from 5 to 8 October 2027, as ECTRIMS returns to Vienna for the first time in a decade. In 2027 the connected programme of events around the congress comes together for the first time under one umbrella, ECTRIMS GLOBAL, a full week of science, clinical expertise and innovation.
Event Focus
Multiple Sclerosis | Neuroimmunology | Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders | MOG Antibody Disease | MRI & Imaging Biomarkers | Disease-Modifying Therapies | Progressive MS | Neurorehabilitation | Paediatric MS | Epidemiology | Clinical Trials | Patient Care | Digital Innovation
Event Highlights
The congress typically draws around 9,000 participants, bringing neurologists, researchers, MS nurses and industry together for four days. The programme features scientific sessions, teaching courses, poster presentations and industry symposia. New for 2027 is an Innovation Programme that connects clinicians and researchers with startups, technology leaders and emerging innovators, while a Patient Community Day links the week's advances with people living with MS.
Why Attend
For anyone working in MS, ECTRIMS is the reference event of the year. It is where important trial results are presented, where treatment strategies are debated and where the international MS community meets. Vienna's excellent connections and long tradition in science and medicine make the 2027 congress a natural choice for clinicians, researchers and life science companies.
