The III International Luso-Galician Congress on the History of Medicine, coordinated by CISPAC researcher Edgard Camarós, will hold its third edition in A Coruña on 1, 2 and 3 October 2026. The event, which is supported by CISPAC, is entitled A historical perspective on medical knowledge: from paleopathology to archives.
The congress seeks to bring together research on the History of Medicine, with a special focus on the links between Galicia and Portugal, while also remaining open to other geographical experiences and contexts. This edition proposes a reflection on the different sources available for studying medicine and its history, from skeletal remains to written documentation.
The programme will include paper and poster presentations, two keynote lectures, a round table and a field trip. The call is open to researchers at different stages of their academic careers, as well as students wishing to present work related to care, disease and medicine from a historical perspective.
The deadline for submitting proposals is 30 July 2026. Papers may be presented in Spanish, Portuguese, Galician or English. Abstracts must be between 250 and 300 words and include at least three keywords, a title and the authors’ names with their corresponding affiliation, where applicable. Posters must be in A1 format.
Proposes must be sent to congresohistomed@grupos.nube.usc.gal. For any question, he organisers can also be contacted at carolina.sobrado@rai.usc.es.
