Dear Esteemed Members of the Porcine Health Management Community, It is my great pleasure and honor to extend to you a warm welcome to the European Symposium of Porcine Health Management (ESPHM) 2025, which will be held in the picturesque city of Bern.

As we gather together for this momentous event, we reflect on the journey that has brought us here. Originally announced in 2019 and planned for 2020, our congress faced unprecedented challenges due to the global pandemic. However, through resilience and adaptation, we transformed the obstacles into opportunities, convening virtually in 2021 to continue our vital discussions and collaborations in porcine health management.

Now, in May 2025, we are delighted to invite you to join us in person in Bern, Switzerland. Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Swiss Alps, Bern offers a captivating backdrop for our congress. Its rich history, vibrant culture, and renowned hospitality promise to enhance our experience as we come together to advance the field of porcine health management.

Our congress is organized jointly with the European College of Porcine Health Management (ECPHM), exemplifying our commitment to excellence in education, research, and practice. With a diverse program featuring keynote lectures, round table discussions, parallel scientific sessions, and endless networking opportunities, the ESPHM 2025 promises to be a stimulating and enriching event for all attendees.

We extend our invitation to all pig veterinarians, researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders who share our passion for promoting the health and well-being of pigs. Your expertise, insights, and contributions are invaluable as we work together to address the evolving challenges and opportunities in porcine health management.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to join us in Bern for a congress that promises not only professional growth and collaboration but also unforgettable experiences and connections. Together, let us forge new pathways, share knowledge, and inspire innovation in porcine health management.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bern, Switzerland, for the ESPHM 2025.
