Welcome to the EAFP 2026 Conference in Tartu, Estonia!

We are excited to bring together educators, researchers, students, and stakeholders to explore curriculum agility in pharmacy education—a concept that ensures our programmes remain responsive to technological advances, societal needs, and sustainability challenges.

This year’s conference will focus on agile and innovative curriculum development, teaching in the AI era, alongside strategies for future-ready competencies and sustainability education. Participants will engage in interactive discussions, workshops, and stakeholder forums, fostering co-creation and actionable solutions.

Key themes of the conference include:

  • Principles of agile curriculum design and overcoming institutional barriers.

  • Integration of digital tools and AI into pharmacy education.

  • Sustainability and eco-directed medicine use, ensuring societal and environmental impact.

  • Collaboration across Europe to prepare a future-ready pharmacy workforce.

Beyond the sessions, the conference offers networking opportunities and social events, creating a vibrant space for sharing ideas and building partnerships. Join us in shaping a dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable future for pharmacy education.
