The EABCT 2025 Congress and Workshops will be held in Glasgow from 3rd to 6th September 2025
We look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow from 3rd – 6th September 2025 for the 55th EABCT Annual Congress. An EABCT congress offers a unique opportunity to come together with people from all over Europe working across the whole breadth of CBT research and clinical practice to exchange ideas, learn from and inspire each other, and make lasting connections. We will be putting together a programme that showcases the most exciting current developments in CBT, bringing in contributions from Scotland, the broader UK, Europe, and further afield to provide a platform for both well-established experts and emerging speakers working at the cutting edge.
The vibrant cosmopolitan city of Glasgow provides a perfect setting for the congress, boasting spectacular architecture and a world-renowned cultural and art scene. Glasgow is also the gateway to the rest of Scotland with its stunning natural beauty.
Join us in Glasgow and be part of what promises to be an unmissable and unforgettable event.
