A first look at Granada 2027

Press play for the story of the congress, the host city and the community coming together this autumn of 2027.

Watch the intro
Why this congress matters

Progress in transgender healthcare arises best when different disciplines and perspectives move forward together.

EPATH 2027 in Granada recreates the collaborative environment attendees have come to expect — a space where science, clinical practice, research, ethics and lived experience intersect around a common goal: to improve care for trans and gender-diverse communities across Europe and beyond.

01

Expanding interdisciplinary networks

Connecting clinicians, scientists and community across Europe and beyond — building the relationships that move the field forward.

02

Elevating underrepresented voices

Centring perspectives too often left at the margins of research and clinical practice, in dialogue with lived experience.

03

Creating inclusive environments

A welcoming space for healthcare professionals and community stakeholders alike — rooted in equity, science and solidarity.

What's the programme?

Four days of scientific exchange

Building on previous EPATH congresses, the 7th edition brings together the formats that define this gender-affirming healthcare congress — from keynote science to the conversations that happen between sessions.

The host

Brought to Granada by Facialteam

EPATH 2027 is hosted by Facialteam Research & Education — long-standing members and sponsors of the European Professional Association for Transgender Health. After defending the Granada bid at EPATH's General Assembly, the team now carries the responsibility of bringing the international community together in Andalusia.

Their engagement with EPATH has always centred on advancing gender-affirming care through collaboration, education and evidence-based innovation — from scientific panels to the State-of-the-Art Symposia on facial gender-affirming surgery presented at EPATH 2025 in Hamburg.

We are committed to making Granada 2027 a transformative gathering rooted in equity, science and solidarity.Facialteam Research & Education
