Invest in ME Research
International ME Conference Week events 2025

INTERNATIONAL ME CONFERENCE WEEK EVENTS 2025
The international ME conference week events now span five days and this year are arranged for 26 - 30 May 2025.
Working with the European ME Research Group (EMERG) and our international friends and contacts we hope to have a very productive and informative international conference week of events to make progress in research into ME.
Our Past Conference Events
Here are details of all of the previous Invest in ME Research International ME Conferences and Colloquiums
that the charity has arranged and hosted since 2006.
The conferences provide the latest research and clinical information about ME and allows for the
creation or resumption of unique networking opportunities with some of the most
knowledgeable and experienced
authorities on ME in the world.
Videos from past conferences
We have videos from all presentations in all conferences available. These are not just educational but contain a historical record of research progress over the years. The education of healthcare staff must reflect the latest knowledge about the pathogenesis of ME which high quality biomedical research is providing. The presenters at the CPD-accredited Invest in ME Research International ME Conferences have represented the world's most current knowledgebase regarding this disease - providing the latest research and clinical information about ME and a unique location for networking with some of the most knowledgeable and experienced authorities on ME in the world. These videos provide useful information for researchers, clinicians and patients as well as providing a historical record of research into ME.

The Invest in ME Research Biomedical Research into ME (BRMEC) Colloquiums are closed research meetings organised by the charity to encourage biomedical research into ME and international collaboration amongst researchers. This has been one of the main objectives of the charity. Invest in ME Research began arranging public biomedical research conferences in 2006 and have continued them ever since - mostly funded by the charity but with help from some wonderful supporters and some good friends. The Invest in ME Research International Biomedical Research into ME Colloquiums began in 2011 as a way of bringing together researchers from around the world in a round-table discussion of ME research and ideas. Over the years this has broadened into sharing of experiences, data and plans for future research and international collaboration. A culmination of much of this effort was the initiation of The European ME Research Group (EMERG) concept which formed in October 2015 in London in an attempt to set up a strategy of European collaboration in ME research.

To encourage new and young and early career researchers into the field of ME research the charity
initiated the
Thinking the Future research meetings - with a focus on
international collaboration.

An
international family of researchers working together has been facilitated by the Invest in ME
Research BRMEC* Biomedical Research into ME Colloquiums held annually in London, UK.
To ensure that a foundation
of biomedical research into ME can be sustained and to encourage new ideas from new areas then we cannot
rely just on
this family of researchers that has been built up from all parts of the world.
We need to
draw in knowledge and expertise from other areas.
Importantly, we also need to encourage early career researchers
– and young researchers.
Following the pandemic, in 2023 the charity restarted the young/ecr European network - Young EMERG.

Young EMERG is now an entity that can help attract more young researchers into research into ME and
assist in
building capacity in the field. YE will also foster European and international collaboration and
create new idea and awareness - all objectives of IiMER.
