Register for the PRIME International Symposium!

11 June 2026

Researchers, clinicians, industry representatives, charities and people with lived experience of ME/CFS will come together this September for the PRIME International Symposium, a two-day hybrid event exploring the latest developments in ME/CFS research.

The symposium will take place from 9am on 28 September to 2pm on 29 September at the John McIntyre Conference Centre in Edinburgh, with online attendance also available.

The event will provide an opportunity for cross-disciplinary discussion on emerging ME/CFS research, including recent scientific developments, current thinking and future approaches to diagnosis and treatment. It will also aim to identify new opportunities for collaboration to support the development of improved diagnostics and effective therapies.

The PRIME Symposium will see the launch of the new International Genetic Epidemiology of ME/CFS Consortium, as well as provide a platform for Early Career Researchers and the Patient and Public Involvement Research Involvement Hub to present exciting new research and supporting activities.

Read the programme to see the full line up of speakers and sessions.

Online registration is open. In person attendance is now full, however you can still ask to join the reserves list if interested.

The PRIME Symposium will also be recorded for those unable to attend live.
