Useful Information

Accreditation

The 44th ESOPRS Meeting 2026, Estoril, Portugal, 10-12 September 2026 will be applying for European CME credits (ECMEC®s) by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®). Confirmation of points to be awarded will be available as soon as accreditation is complete.

To ensure the proper attribution of UEMS credits, accurate attendance tracking is required. At the ESOPRS 2026 Congress, an electronic check-in system will be used. Registration mats at the auditorium entrance will read the chip embedded in each participant’s badge for time tracking purposes.

All attendance data will be securely stored and made available for verification upon request by UEMS. Certificates of attendance will only be issued to participants who fulfil the required attendance criteria.
