Part 1
We’re excited to introduce the first part of our Invited Speakers for the 18th Congress of the European Federation of Sexology in Lisbon, Portugal on May 28-30, 2026.
The congress will bring together leading researchers, clinicians, and educators from across the world to share the latest evidence and perspectives on sexuality, sexual health, and human relationships. Through keynote lectures and expert sessions, our invited speakers will offer insights that bridge research, clinical practice, and social understanding, reflecting the interdisciplinary spirit that defines the field of sexology.
We are delighted to present four outstanding experts whose work has significantly influenced research, policy, and clinical practice in sexual health.
