ENPHE Forum 2025

!!!REGISTRATION IS OPEN!!!

The ENPHE Forum 2025 will be hosted and organised by the Lunex University of Applied Sciences. This exciting event will last three days, offering an inspiring and insightful programme. The first day, Thursday, September 18th, 2025, is dedicated to the Student's Day Program and the ENPHE Board Meetings, as well as our Pre-Forum Course in Artificial Intelligence in Physiotherapy. On Friday and Saturday, September 19th and 20th, the focus will shift towards the work and contributions developed by our working group members, as well as other innovative presentations, keynote sessions, and collaborative projects.

The theme for this year's Forum is "The Future of Physiotherapy Education: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities". As in our Spring event, this theme highlights the evolving landscape of physiotherapy education, exploring innovative practices, addressing critical challenges, and identifying pathways to harness emerging opportunities. Key activities that will take place during the Forum include inspirational sessions with our working groups and other interesting projects that will be shared, keynote speakers, sponsor presentations, and the showcasing of academic posters, Erasmus project outcomes and Graduation Thesis Awards, so there is a lot to look forward to.

As always, this event will not only be about professional growth but also about connecting with peers and enjoying the friendly ENPHE community spirit. On Thursday, we will have a welcome function at Lunex's facilities. On the 19th, participants can count on a variety of exciting sports activities, as well as our customary Dinner & Dance, and several other opportunities to interact and connect with our ENPHE community throughout the whole event.

This Forum offers an excellent opportunity for networking, sharing ideas, and fostering collaboration and the advancement of knowledge and good practice in physiotherapy education among educators, students, and professionals. Whether you are an ENPHE member or a non-member, you are warmly invited to participate and contribute to strengthening connections among European higher education institutions within this field.

We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring event in September 2025!
