Gdańsk, Poland | 25–28 June 2026

We are pleased to share that preparations for the Academy 2026 are advancing smoothly. This flagship training event will take place from 25–28 June 2026 in Gdańsk, Poland, bringing together patient advocates from across Europe.

The Academy is more than a training programme; it represents a key milestone for our diverse and growing community. Through dedicated SmartStart and MasterClass tracks, participants will engage in sessions on advocacy, healthcare systems, policy, research, and data.

The core strength of the Academy is its focus on collaboration and peer exchange. Advocates from different backgrounds and countries come together to learn, share experiences, build connections, and strengthen a collective voice.
