How to start writing about the ECI Conference Lisbon, 2-5 september 2025 at ISCTE CAMPUS, Lisbon, Portugal we just had?
We will start with the Chair of ISEI, Mary Beth Bruder also “a dancing queen” on the Grande Auditorium stage, together with all volunteers and her co-organizers for the closing of the conference.

With 832 registrations and 759 that joined the conference from 60 countries we can call it a success.

We wish all colleagues, that last minute couldn’t come due to health-, family- or other issues, well and hope they recover soon. Which makes: all preparational work which was done by ISEI and Eurlyaid together, has been a lot, but experiencing those conference days, the keynotes and all presentations and poster sesssions, it met the goals we had:

Bringing together all those colleagues and other people connected or interested on the topic of ECI.

We admire the commitment and we heard about the many connections that were realised, the exchange of information and building of networks among practitioners, researchers, policy makers and families that happened during the onference.

Only one word fits it all: PERFECT! We wish future conferences will continue to serve this purpose and we hope to see you
again on one of those conferences.
