Budapest is a city shaped by connections, with its historic and modern districts linked by the Danube. It brings together tradition and innovation, diverse perspectives and shared ambitions.
In the same spirit, the EAP Winter Meeting brings paediatricians from across Europe together to exchange knowledge, strengthen relationships and turn ideas into collective action.
Nothing compares to the energy of being together in one place. In person, conversations deepen, ideas develop more freely and new collaborations begin to take shape.
Here, every participant contributes to something larger: a shared commitment to advancing child health across Europe. Bring your voice, your experience and your ideas, and rediscover the value of genuine face to face exchange.
Leave Budapest with renewed energy, stronger connections and a clearer sense of what we can achieve together.

New ways to test high-risk medical devices.
Manufacturers of medical devices need to test their products before being allowed to market them. Specifically, they require clinical data showing their medical device is safe and efficient. In this context, the EU-funded CORE-MD project will translate expert scientific and clinical evidence on study designs for evaluating high-risk medical devices into advice for EU regulators. The project will propose how new trial designs can contribute and suggest ways to aggregate real-world data from medical device registries.
It will also conduct multidisciplinary workshops to propose a hierarchy of levels of evidence from clinical investigations, as well as educational and training objectives for all stakeholders, to build expertise in regulatory science in Europe. CORE–MD will translate expert scientific and clinical evidence on study designs for evaluating high-risk medical devices into advice for EU regulators, to achieve an appropriate balance between innovation, safety, and effectiveness. A unique collaboration between medical associations, regulatory agencies, notified bodies, academic institutions, patients’ groups, and health technology assessment agencies, will systematically review methodologies for the clinical investigation of high-risk medical devices, recommend how new trial designs can contribute, and advise on methods for aggregating real-world data from medical device registries with experience from clinical practice The consortium is led by the European Society of Cardiology and the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, and involves all 33 specialist medical associations that are members of the Biomedical Alliance in Europe.
