The theme of #EFIC2027 highlights communication as the essential bridge between science, practice, and society. Despite advances in pain research and treatment, translating knowledge into clinical application remains a challenge. The Congress will foster meaningful dialogue across disciplines—connecting researchers, clinicians, healthcare providers, patients, policymakers, and society at large.
Communication is understood not only as human exchange but also as a biological process—between cells, brain areas, body systems, and even genes—acknowledging that disruptions in these pathways are central to pain and may be restored.
Multidisciplinary by design, #EFIC2027 will bring together basic scientists, clinical investigators, medical doctors, allied health professionals, and early career experts. It will showcase innovations in translational research, implementation science, and interprofessional collaboration, while encouraging mutual learning: ensuring that clinical realities inform research priorities, and scientific discoveries translate into meaningful patient outcomes.
By promoting integration, reflection, and shared goals, #EFIC2027 will serve as a platform to build bridges, strengthen collaboration, and advance a more connected and patient-centered future for pain management.
