About the Conference
Taking place on November 12–13, 2025, in Porto, Portugal, this conference aims to raise awareness, promote understanding, and stimulate dialogue among healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, patients, and advocates about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID (LC), and other post-viral fatiguing illnesses.
