Welcome Message
Dear colleagues and friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the European Speech and Language Therapy Congress 2027 in Porto, Portugal.
Our congress aims to bring together clinicians, researchers, educators, and students from across Europe and beyond to share knowledge, explore innovation, and strengthen collaboration within our profession. At a time when communication health is more vital than ever, this meeting provides an important opportunity to reflect on our collective achievements and to shape the future of speech and language therapy together.
Sahra Mengal,
ESLA Chair
A JOURNEY THROUGH SAFETY IN A CHANGING WORLD
Imagine stepping aboard a train that carries not only passengers, but ideas, innovation, and a shared global commitment to making railways safe for all.
In 2026, we invite the international rail community to travel with us across landscapes that reflect today’s most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities in railway safety.
Just like the railway line connecting Valença to Vila Real de Santo António, the sector also faces a complex journey, where each stage — each station, each infrastructure, each technical decision — contributes to building a more resilient system.
Join us as we explore key topics shaping the future of rail safety: cross-border coordination, asset maintenance, resilience to extreme natural events, emergency management, frontline workers and leadership and reinforce the importance of international cooperation in responding to emerging risks and knowledge sharing as a driver of continuous improvement.
João Jesus Caetano
President of the Institute for Mobility and Transport, Portuguese NSA
