The ENPHE Seminar 2024 is hosted and organized by Universidade da Coruña. The seminar includes three days of activities - see detailed programme below. The first day is dedicated to ENPHE Management and ENPHE Students Body Program (11th of April). The second and the third days (12th and 13th April) cover the Working Group development and invited keynote speakers.

The overarching theme for this year's seminar is "Physiotherapy education: aiming at excellence through collaboration", and as such, respective keynote speakers, activities and workshops have been handpicked to help ciltivate that excellence. This seminar will be a great opportunity for networking and sharing thoughts, ideas and experiences on this topic. And "the cherry on top", we will not go on withouth the memorable ENPHE gala and ENPHE sports activities as well. All educators and students (ENPHE members and non-members) are invited to participate and contribute to the strengthening of the cooperation between European Higher Education Institutions in the field of Physiotherapy.
