The scientific programme of SIM 2025 will span three calendar days (14-16 May 2025) and comprise four themed sessions (brain, liver, intestine, ICU academia) with 50% of the time dedicated to interactive, moderated discussions. All sessions will be held in English. Meeting days 1 and 2 end with an organised social programme, including dinner, in the late afternoon/evening.
The programme is final, but we are updating this page when speakers and facilitators are confirmed.
