The Conference will disseminate and exchange scientific knowledge on Myalgic Encephalomyelitys/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and provide opportunity to expand collaborations. COST Action CA15111 has established an European network of researchers from 22 countries working on different aspects of ME/CFS. The Conference will present the main findings of the work carried out within the network, recent advances and future perspectives in the field of ME/CFS.

The scientific programme will cover the research agenda of COST Action and sessions will reflect the following topics:

  • ME/CFS epidemiology,
  • ME/CFS biomarkers,
  • ME/CFS socio-economics,
  • ME/CFS clinical research.
