GENERAL INFO – NEW DATE for 2021!
The primary objective of the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine EAPM is to promote an integrated psychosomatic / biopsychosocial approach to health and disease.
Every year, the EAPM hosts a conference. This annual gathering brings together experts in psychosomatic medicine to share knowledge and network, and thus advance the field. The conference language is English.
From 2 – 5 June, 2021, the 8th annual scientific conference of the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine will be hosted by Danube University Krems, Austria, and will be held in Vienna.
To avoid potential bias and support independent discussion, we do not accept conflicted funding.
We are honoured to announce Austria’s Minister of Health Rudolf Anschober as opening speaker for EAPM 2021.

MISSION STATEMENT
BY THE CONGRESS PRESIDENT
Not only does the EAPM symbolise the importance of a worldwide network in the psychosomatic field, the association also fosters strong ties between the different members and associated communities. The EAPM board decided to hold the annual meeting 2021 in Vienna, a great honour for us at Danube University. As the congress president, I am very proud to invite you to Europe’s most attractive capital, our beloved city of Vienna.
