Welcome letters

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the European Federation of Sports Medicine Associations (EFSMA) and of the Romanian Sports Medicine Society, we kindly invite you to the 13th EFSMA Congress of Sports Medicine , which will take place at Crowne Plaza Hotel, 25-27 September 2025, in Bucharest, Romania.

Organized under the motto "Sharing Knowledge beyond Information", the program will feature a series of current topics and practical experiences in sports medicine, including sports cardiology, traumatology, sports science, physical medicine and rehabilitation, doping, sports physiology, physiotherapy, brought by guest lecturers from across Europe. The structure of the congress will include conferences, symposia, workshops, oral presentations, e-posters, and specialized exhibitions. As such, it will be an opportunity to share best practices, further expand our common European knowledge, and widen professional networks.

Dating back from 1932, the Romanian Society of Sports Medicine has an extensive experience in organizing national and international congresses. Hosting the European congress will be a rewarding experience, building on a long tradition in sports medicine, as well as an opportunity to welcome you in a city which was once known as the “Little Paris” and is now once again experiencing a vibrant cultural and scientific life. A rich social program will complete the scientific exchanges, for a full experience of Romanian hospitality. We look forward to seeing you in Bucharest!
