The EURO-RIYADH 2025 International Annual Congress, to be held in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from 18–20 November 2025, is set to be one of the most prestigious international gatherings in the field of acute and critical care medicine and Military Medicine. For the first time, this event will unite three landmark conferences on a single platform: the 4th Military Medicine Conference (MMC), the 1st Aerospace & Diving Medicine Conference, and the 14th Annual Conference of the Saudi Critical Care Society (SCCS).
Organized in collaboration with the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Saudi Critical Care Society (SCCS) and the newly founded Military Medicine Society (MMS), the congress will take place under the unifying theme: "Critical Care: Collaboration, Compassion & Commitment – Advancing Military and Aerospace Medicine Innovation."
With participation from 33+ allied nations, the congress will bring together more than 200 senior military medical leaders, international experts, and specialists in critical care, field, aerospace, and diving medicine to promote strategic dialogue, scientific innovation, and global collaboration.
Pre-Conference Training Excellence
Complementing the main congress, an extensive portfolio of internationally recognized pre-conference courses will be conducted throughout November 2025, ranging from 2 to 20 working days. These include flagship Military and Critical Medical Evacuation programs—FCCN, FCCS, FDM, FCCS in Limited Resources, and Transport of Critically Ill Patients—along with specialized offerings such as Basic Aviation Medicine (Malaysia), Space Medicine (P. Canadian), Basic Diving Medicine (Oman Navy), Naval Medicine (Pakistan), TCCC (NAEMT), and CBRNe Medicine (UK DMS).
Equally distinguished is the comprehensive critical care curriculum, featuring advanced adult-focused courses on Clinical Practice Guideline Development, Bronchoscopy for Adult Critically Ill Patients, ECMO, Neuro Life, Mechanical Ventilation, and Airway Management in Critically Ill Patients. For pediatric care, the program includes Pediatric Skills Training, Bronchoscopy for Pediatric Critically Ill Patients, Introduction to Critical Care Research, and Career Counseling sessions, designed to empower the next generation of healthcare leaders.
A Platform for Global Excellence
Together, the congress and its broad spectrum of pre-conference training will deliver an unparalleled platform for professional growth, innovation, and international partnership. More than a scientific event, EURO-RIYADH 2025 represents a hub of knowledge exchange and global collaboration, shaping the future of military, aerospace, diving, and critical care medicine.
We warmly invite your esteemed team to be part of this exceptional international experience that combines scientific excellence with a vision for advancing healthcare innovation worldwide.
