IPPNW European Regional Meeting

11-13 April, 2025 | Geneva, Switzerland 

IPPNW’s Geneva Liaison Office is honored to host the European Regional Meeting in Geneva Friday 11 April to Sunday 13 April 2025. The reasons for choosing Geneva are its unique role as an international city of peace and to celebrate the opening of the Geneva Liaison Office. The meeting will host guests from civil society, academia and politics to speak, participate in panel discussions, and address your questions. We are excited about this opportunity for our members to collaborate and plan our critical next steps to reaching our ultimate goal: nuclear weapons abolition.

Join IPPNW’s 24th World Congress in Nagasaki, Japan. This historic occasion marking the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki offers an unparalleled opportunity to reflect on the devastating consequences of nuclear weapons and to recommit to global efforts toward disarmament.

The main Congress will be 2-4 October, 2025 with a Student Congress on 1 October and governance (International Council and Board) meetings on 1 & 5 October. We expect over two hundred health professionals and students from IPPNW affiliates worldwide to attend in person to explore practical steps toward advancing nuclear abolition and securing our common future.
