On behalf of the Scientific Committee, we are delighted to invite researchers, clinicians, educators, and healthcare professionals to submit abstracts for The First European Conference on Functional Somatic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents, to be held in Bergen, Norway, from 2-4 May 2027.

The conference will bring together professionals from across Europe with a shared interest in improving the understanding, assessment, treatment, and long-term outcomes of children and adolescents with functional somatic symptoms.

We welcome submissions presenting original research, clinical innovation, service development, educational initiatives, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Submissions from both established and early-career researchers are welcome. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary contributions that bridge healthcare, education, community services, and research.

Submission Deadline = November 1st (symposium) / December 1 (oral presentation/poster)
