From Promise to Action Conference:
Staying Bold in the Face of Health Justice

Register

Amsterdam 2026

UAEM members from all across Europe come together every spring to share our passion, ideas, questions, and inspiration for how we, as part of the global access to medicines movement, can take action to meet the world's most pressing health needs. This year, an international organising team, including the UAEM Netherlands chapter, invites you to Amsterdam!

What to expect

From Promise to Action built an agenda around our belief that health comes before profit. Sessions are hosted by student members, UAEM alumni, professors, researchers, lawyers, access to medicines experts, and activists. With your registration you get:

  • Access to two days of hands on learning with advocates and experts

  • Accommodations for Friday May 8th and Saturday May 9th (if needed)

  • Breakfast, lunch, and snacks Saturday and Sunday

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

Who comes to the UAEM Europe conference?

Lots of members attend, but membership is not required to attend.

Any students, researchers, academics, professors, or university alumni are welcome here who want to take their first or next step in pushing universities and governments to proudly support access to essential medicines around the world. Universities play a critical role in the drug development process, especially early-stage research, and offer a great place to discuss how we can work together for a healthier, fairer future.
