The ENPHE Seminar 2025 will be hosted and organized by the Department of Physiotherapy at Avans University of Applied Sciences. This exciting event spans three days, offering a diverse and enriching program. The first day, Thursday, April 10th, 2025, is dedicated to the Student Program and the ENPHE Board Meetings. On Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th, the focus shifts to the seminar itself, where ENPHE working groups will collaborate to advance their stated goals.

The overarching theme for this year's seminar is "The Future of Physiotherapy Education: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities". This theme highlights the evolving landscape of physiotherapy education, exploring innovative practices, addressing critical challenges, and identifying pathways to harness emerging opportunities. Key activities will include collaborative sessions and discussions aimed at driving meaningful advancements in the field.

As always, this event will not only be about professional growth but also about connecting with peers and enjoying the vibrant ENPHE community spirit. On Friday evening, we invite you to also register to join us for a memorable dinner and dance event, a perfect opportunity to unwind and celebrate together. Additionally, ENPHE sports activities will also be part of the Friday program, promoting the values of teamwork and physical well-being.

This seminar offers an excellent opportunity for networking, sharing ideas, and fostering collaboration among educators, students, and professionals in physiotherapy education. Whether you are an ENPHE member or a non-member, you are warmly invited to participate and contribute to strengthening connections among European Higher Education Institutions in this vital field.

We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring event in April 2025!
