The International ME/CFS Conference 2026 was a great success. With a total of over 7,300 participants, the conference is now one of the largest scientific events in the field of post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS) globally.
First videos and summaries of the presentations are now available on the event website. The majority of remaining videos will be published gradually until the beginning of July 2026.
Already available online are the presentation on therapeutic trials on ME/CFS and post-COVID-syndrome by Prof. Carmen Scheibenbogen (audio in German with English slides and subtitles) and additional presentations on treatment trials from the German ME/CFS Symposium 2026.
Videos can be accessed on the event website via the conference agenda or the videos presentations section.
A summary of the International ME/CFS Conference 2026 will be published on our website soon. A scientific summary of last year's conference is available in Autoimmunity Reviews (link to the journal article).
How can you support the work of the ME/CFS Research Foundation?
While progress has been made, there is still a long way to go before diagnosis, care and treatment of ME/CFS patients will one day become an established medical and social standard. We at the ME/CFS Research Foundation are focussing on biomedical research, which we see as a key element in solving these problems (more on this in our research funding strategy and in the recent half year report, which summarises our activities). To achieve this, we rely on broad support from private donors – those affected, relatives, families, friends, associations, schools, networks, companies, initiatives, event organisers and all supporters. If you are not able to provide direct support, you can share our stories and motivate others to help. Because only together can we achieve. this goal.
We fully translate donations and other support into scientifically excellent research, networking and ultimately visible successes, i.e. improved ME/CFS diagnostics and therapies. We are happy to work together with other organisations and initiatives - please contact us!
