For IMSARM, the year 2026 represents the culmination of five years of steadfast dedication, marking our evolution from a modest medical association into a truly flourishing organisation. Our management remains exceptionally sound, bolstered by the unwavering interest of our medical colleagues, the continued prestige of our speakers, and the loyal support of our numerous exhibitors.

While we trust you found the 2025 proceedings rewarding, 2026 promises to be even more distinguished. We have refined our approach by addressing past challenges and leveraging material resources that were unavailable to us at our inception. Our entirely new programme features an array of eminent speakers from across Europe, the Maghreb, and Russia, covering the full spectrum from fundamental sciences to advanced therapeutics.

The fundamental sciences are, indeed, becoming increasingly foundational. They allow us to contemplate the hypotheses necessary to refine the art of healing and, perhaps, to achieve the ultimate goal of curing our patients. Proficiency in biology, biochemistry, and biophysics is becoming indispensable; a traditional medical education is no longer sufficient for a complete understanding of these complexities. We must commit ourselves to a journey of continuous renewal and learning. It is a profoundly stimulating endeavour, and no physician could fail to be captivated by such an intellectual adventure.

To ensure this congress serves as a premier international hub, the vast majority of topics presented will be entirely new, offering the practical innovation required in modern practice. To this end, we are pleased to announce that simultaneous interpretation in English and French will be provided.

The congress is scheduled for the first weekend of October—a date carefully chosen to avoid conflict with other major events and to allow the greatest number of colleagues to attend. While scientific excellence is our cornerstone, we believe that fellowship and professional camaraderie are equally vital in making this event a truly restorative moment in the working year.

As was the case last year, we kindly ask that you do not delay your registration. We encourage you to plan well in advance, particularly regarding your attendance at the gala dinner. This year, we anticipate between 130 and 150 participants; however, the gala dinner is strictly limited to 100 guests. Similarly, we advise early room reservations to ensure the seamless organisation of the event.

Our passion for this congress remains undiminished, and our ambition is to elevate it to the very pinnacle of its field. We invite you to help us realise this vision.

With our sincere thanks,

The President and the Committee
