This conference aims to expand the boundaries of medicine by sharing original insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and organization of care in the early life course. It will cover both theoretical foundations and practical interventions in the periconception period, as well as the latest approaches to deliver multidisciplinary, network-based care in collaboration with local social care partners. Through this approach, Early Life Course Medicine seeks to both increase resilience and prevent illness from its earliest stages as well as to promote equitable care supporting a healthy life course that benefits individuals, populations, and future generations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The program includes innovative topics that are relevant for science, clinical practice and policy-making, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><u>Preconception care for life course health<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Public health importance of periconceptional care<\/li>\n<li>Governmental and professional responsibilities in implementing periconceptional care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Development of innovative diagnostics and interventions<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preconception and interpregnancy care and implementation strategies (including finance)<\/li>\n<li>Lifestyle interventions in the preconception period<\/li>\n<li>AI imaging and early embryonic and placental health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Multidisciplinary preconception care in clinical practice<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preconception care in severe maternal disease<\/li>\n<li>Preconception care in mental illness<\/li>\n<li>Do\u2019s and don\u2019ts in multidisciplinary collaboration<\/li>\n<li>Creating multidisciplinary care-networks for preconception care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract submission<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Scientific Committee is pleased to invite researchers, clinicians and social care providers to submit abstracts for the 7th European Conference on Preconception Health and Care.\u00a0Submitted abstracts will be reviewed for inclusion in the scientific program as an <strong>oral or poster presentation,<\/strong> as determined by the Scientific Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Abstracts can be submitted via the online submission system:<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventure-online.com\/eventure\/login.form?A06cd8409-d9f6-4633-95cd-a15caabbdc0b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abstract Submission Form<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before submitting your abstract, please ensure that you carefully read the submission guidelines:<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hetcongresbureau.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Guidelines-abstract-submission-ECPHC-2027.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guidelines Abstract Submission ECPHC 2027<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><strong>Important Dates Abstract Submission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abstract submission deadline<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Monday 19 October 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Notification of selected abstracts<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Monday 16 November 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Author registration deadline<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Friday 18 December 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><strong>Preliminary program<br \/>\n<\/strong>The preliminary program can be viewed <a href=\"https:\/\/hetcongresbureau.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Preliminary-Program-ECPHC2027-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Registration<\/strong><br \/>\nRegistration will open in <strong>early September 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:ECPHC2027@erasmusmc.nl?subject=Mailing list ECPHC 2027\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scan the QR-code below to join our mailing list<\/a> and stay up to date with registration opening, abstract submission dates and deadlines and conference updates.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6536\" title=\"QR code Mailinglist ECPHC27\" src=\"https:\/\/hetcongresbureau.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/QR-code-Mailinglist-ECPHC27-e1784539049220.png\" alt=\"QR code Mailinglist ECPHC27\" width=\"178\" height=\"178\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong><br \/>\nBuitenplaats Rozenlust<br \/>\nParklaan 11<br \/>\n3016 BA Rotterdam (The Netherlands)<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"https:\/\/rozenlust.nl\/\">Buitenplaats Rozenlust<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have any questions, please contact us at ECPHC2027@erasmusmc.nl.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The organizing committee looks forward to welcoming you to the conference:<\/strong><br \/>\nAnnemarie Mulders, MD, PhD, Chair<br \/>\nMelek Rousian, MD, MSc, PhD, Associate Professor<br \/>\nProf. Hilmar Bijma,\u00a0 MD, PhD<br \/>\nProf. R\u00e9gine Steegers-Theunissen, MD, MSc, PhD<br \/>\nProf. Eric.
