Save the date: 8th Annual Meeting of the European Sepsis Alliance, 19 March 2025, European Parliament

Tackling sepsis together: an EU responsibility

The ESA is pleased to announce its 8th Annual Meeting, scheduled to take place at the European Parliament on 19 March 2025, under the distinguished patronage of MEP, former Commissioner for Health, and ESA Patron, Vytenis Andriukaitis. This year's meeting promises to be a significant occasion for discussing the urgency to include sepsis policies within the broader EU health policy context.

In line with the global sepsis advocacy developments and successes, the objective of this year's discussions is to engage European policymakers and stakeholders in understanding the intersection of sepsis with existing health threats and frameworks, such as Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and pandemic preparedness strategies, the agenda of the European Health Emergency Response Authority (HERA), health management in conflict zones, to name a few. The meeting will delve into how sepsis preparedness is vital to enhance the overall public health strategy of the EU. A new European Parliament and a newly appointed European Commission provide a unique context to create the synergies needed.

Participants will have the opportunity to share best practices, engage in collaborative discussions, and propose concrete solutions that can be implemented at both national and EU levels. Your insights and experiences are invaluable to developing a cohesive approach to policy integration.

The final program will be published in the coming weeks, detailing the agenda and speaker line-up. We invite all ESA members and stakeholders to register for this important gathering and contribute to shaping the future of sepsis policy in Europe.

Further details on registration will follow shortly. Your participation is essential in advancing the dialogue on sepsis within the European health policy framework.
