24th Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM 2027)

WADEM cordially invites you to participate in the 24th edition of the Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine, an event that brings together global experts to share research and exchange knowledge in disaster medicine, prehospital care, and the health aspects of emergency management and complex humanitarian crises. The congress will take place at the Centre des Congrès de la Villette at the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris, France, from 26 to 30 April 2027. The theme for the congress is: Research, Relevance, Resilience: Enhancing performance in disaster and emergency medicine for communities, responders, and ecosystems. WADEM last held its congress in France more than twenty years ago, in Lyon in 2001. The Paris Congress will build on the success of the Tokyo Congress by connecting the communities of fire, civil protection, academia, government, military, and others to advance preparation, prevention, response, and recovery. The Centre des Congrès de la Villette will provide a dynamic and welcoming venue for congress delegates, the educational sessions, the exhibition space, and networking activities. In your free time, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the Museum of Science, the Parc de la Villette, and of course, discover magnificent Paris – the City of Light, a name dating back to the reign of Louis XIV in 1665. No WADEM Congress would be complete without enjoying the local customs and culture. Associated activities will feature renowned gastronomy, art de vivre, and deeply rooted French hospitality! We look forward to sharing these with you!
