Dear colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to extend an invitation to you all to the 2nd HOT TOPICS EUROPAEDIATRICS and 4th Montenegro International Congress of preventive Pediatrics, a Joint Meeting of EPA-UNEPSA and the Association for Preventive Pediatrics of Montenegro, which will be held in Budva, Montenegro, in June 2025.

This conference is based on a new concept and a new way of teaching and learning on a specific topic. The main objective will be a practical approach to clinical conditions. New knowledge in pathophysiology will pave the way to new preventive strategies and treatments. The aim is to provide clinical evidence and practical education to primary care pediatricians through lectures, Q&A session, masterclass and hands-on workshop, using a methodology that supports interactive learning.

The scientific committee will propose a vibrant, dynamic meeting without parallel sessions, where experts will deliver presentations on recent hot topics with important “take home” messages, followed by intense interactive discussions. The meeting will differentiate itself from classical pediatric congresses with its thought-provoking discussions by prominent experts.

Budva is chosen as the venue of the 2nd HOT TOPICS EUROPAEDIATRICS Joint Meeting of EPA-UNEPSA and the Association for Preventive Pediatrics of Montenegro. Montenegro, a small yet strikingly diverse country, is a hidden jewel of the Balkan Peninsula. Nestled along the Adriatic coast, Montenegro is an enchanting blend of natural beauty and rich history that makes it an irresistible destination. From the stunning UNESCO World Heritage sites to its crystalline beaches and deep cultural heritage, this Balkan gem offers a unique and captivating experience. We are confident that the pediatricians will enjoy this new type of educational meeting, the lovely city of Budva, and their stay in Montenegro.

The Co–Presidents of the Joint Meeting
