The 36th Congress of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) is confirmed for 10–13 June 2027 in Basel, Switzerland. Its theme is “Working together and protect the brain,” with a focus on interprofessional collaboration in the management of hypertension and cardiovascular risk factors. The official invitation recognises the brain as a major target organ affected by elevated blood pressure and highlights the prevention of neurovascular complications as a central congress priority.
The meeting is intended to connect current research with clinical practice across disciplines. The 2027 welcome message previews discovery science, clinical trials, novel diagnostics and emerging therapeutic strategies. A dedicated track for practising clinicians and other healthcare professionals will address real-world implementation and practical guidance for everyday decisions. The organisers emphasise discussion and collaboration rather than treating hypertension as an isolated issue within a single professional discipline.
Announced formats include interactive sessions, hands-on workshops and expert panels. These are described as opportunities for practical learning and exchange, but individual workshop titles, instructors, dates, times and fees have not yet been released. No timed scientific programme or 2027 programme PDF is claimed. Previous-edition scientific material appearing elsewhere on the website is not used as evidence for the Basel programme.
The official welcome signatories are Professor Andrzej Januszewicz, ESH President 2026–2028; Professor Nils Peters and Professor Belén Ponte, co-chairs of the 2027 meeting; and Professor Emeritus Michel Burnier, honorary co-chair. These four people are recorded as congress leadership, not as an invented five-person speaker roster or a schedule of confirmed lectures.
The 2027 Key Dates section lists abstract submission opening on 14 September 2026 and a final abstract deadline of 10 January 2027. It also lists a later late-breaker window from 16 to 22 February 2027. These are organiser-published dates; a functioning edition-specific submission portal was not independently verified. Delegates should confirm the submission mechanism and category rules with the congress organiser before preparing a submission.
Basel is confirmed, but a specific congress venue remains unpublished. The homepage states that registration and the congress timetable are coming soon, with no working registration destination. Current 2027 fees, VAT treatment, approved CME/CPD hours and sponsoring companies were not verified and are therefore left unspecified. The website contains mixed 2026/2027 material, including older programme references; only the explicitly dated 2027 invitation and Basel information have been used for this listing.
