The 31st Annual RiMS Conference is organised from Thursday 11th to Saturday 13th June 2026 by RiMS in collaboration with the Third Faculty of Medicine, CEROS and MSrehab,z.s.

Set in Prague, it will provide a high-quality scientific programme, bringing together leading international experts, researchers and clinicians in multiple sclerosis rehabilitation. 

The 2026 programme will connect biological mechanisms (such as neuroplasticity and reserve) to intervention design, precision decision-making, and outcomes that matter to people with MS—especially participation, autonomy, and quality of life.

By integrating multidisciplinary perspectives—medicine, therapy professions, psychology and neuropsychology, engineering, and outcomes research—the Conference aims to advance implementable, evidence-based rehabilitation pathways aligned with European priorities on digital health, real-world outcomes, and personalised care.

Expect scientific sessions, patient testimonials, poster sessions, industry exhibitions, workshops, teaching courses, Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings, alongside networking opportunities and more. 

Please consult the Programme and Locations/Accomodation information in their respective tabs.
