About the 32nd Annual RiMS Conference

The 32nd International Conference on Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis will take place from Thursday 17th to Saturday 19th June 2027 in Galway, Ireland, organised by RiMS in collaboration with the University of Galway, with Fáilte Ireland and Meet in Ireland.

Set in Galway, the Conference will bring together the international MS rehabilitation community for three days of scientific exchange, learning, collaboration and networking.

The 2027 Conference will focus on “Evidence, Equity, and Sustainability in Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation: Empowering people and building the future of personalised care.”

The programme will explore the future of MS rehabilitation through scientific exchange and multidisciplinary collaboration, with a particular focus on evidence, equitable access and sustainable approaches to personalised care.

• Evidence: Bridging research and clinical practice by sharing the latest scientific findings, innovative rehabilitation approaches and evidence-based strategies to improve personalised care and outcomes for people living with MS.

• Equity: Promoting inclusive and accessible rehabilitation while recognising people living with MS as active partners in shaping research priorities, study design and outcomes, ensuring that their lived experiences inform both research and clinical practice.

• Sustainability: Building effective, accessible and resilient rehabilitation services through innovative care models, multidisciplinary collaboration and the responsible use of healthcare resources.

Thursday 17th June will be dedicated to community, learning and collaboration, with the Patient Community Day, Teaching Courses, Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings, and PhD Community activities. 

On Friday 18th and Saturday 19th June, the Conference will continue with scientific sessions, platform presentations, poster presentations, industry sessions and exhibition, awards ceremony and social activities.
