EBMA 2025 will take place at the University of Algarve Gambelas Campus, Faro, Portugal.

Faro, the capital of Portugal’s Algarve region, is a charming coastal city that offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern amenities. Is home to the country’s third-largest airport, making it a key gateway to the stunning beaches of southwestern Europe.
Faro’s history dates back to Phoenician times and includes periods under Roman, Visigoth, and Moorish rule. It became part of Portugal in 1249, and King Afonso III built protective walls around the city. By the 1400s, Faro was a major cultural center. After being plundered by the Earl of Essex in 1597, the city suffered further damage in the 1755 earthquake, although much of the Old Town was preserved. Faro became the capital of Algarve in 1834.
The city is a perfect blend of culture and beach, with many historical sights and monuments, making it ideal for those who want both relaxation and exploration. The best time to visit is between late June and early September, when the weather is warm and dry, although it’s a great destination year-round due to its mild Mediterranean climate.

Conference attendees will have the opportunity to explore the Faro city’s rich heritage, including its medieval old town and the picturesque Ria Formosa lagoon system. Faro’s Mediterranean climate, beautiful beaches, and excellent cuisine enhance its appeal as a conference destination. The charming walled town offers a mix of history and stunning beaches, including one on a desert island. Centrally located in the Algarve, Faro boasts great public transport and ferry access to the nearby Ria Formosa Natural Park, known for its lagoons and barrier islands.

The University of Algarve, founded in 1979, is a young and dynamic institution known for its commitment to research and innovation. Located in the heart of Faro, the university plays a vital role in the region’s academic and cultural life. With its modern facilities and strong emphasis on health sciences, the University of Algarve provides an ideal setting for a conference focused on medical education assessment.
