The 38th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis will take place 26-28 October in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The event will be held as a hybrid event, on-site and online, to allow flexibility in travel amid the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

The Annual Congress is being organised jointly with the 27th Annual Conference of Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis (RIMS).
