The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing excellence in the fields of dermatology and venereology. Established in 1987, EADV unites healthcare professionals, researchers, and educators to improve the understanding, prevention, and treatment of skin, hair, nail, and sexually transmitted diseases across Europe and beyond.
EADV is a prominent platform for education and innovation, offering accredited continuing medical education (CME) programs, clinical guidelines, and resources to support healthcare providers. The organization hosts the EADV Congress, a premier annual event that gathers experts to share the latest scientific advancements and treatment strategies in dermatology and venereology.
In addition to education, EADV funds research initiatives aimed at improving patient care and addressing gaps in dermatologic and venereologic knowledge. Public health campaigns organized by EADV, such as those promoting skin cancer prevention and sexual health awareness, emphasize patient education and community engagement.
