The International Eczema Council (IEC) is a global nonprofit organization led by dermatology and allergy experts on atopic dermatitis. The IEC is dedicated to improving patient care by promoting research, education, and best practices in treatment for atopic dermatitis in people worldwide. The International Psoriasis Council (IPC) aim to advance the understanding of psoriasis, improve patient care, and support the next generation of psoriasis leaders.
The IPC–IEC Eczema and Psoriasis Research Incubator is a pre-congress, interactive forum designed to catalyse cross-disciplinary collaboration and accelerate innovation across inflammatory skin diseases.
Featuring keynote presentations from global thought leaders, the program moves from cutting-edge insights into disease mechanisms and precision stratification to data-driven, translational approaches that inform real-world practice.
Participants will engage in rapid-fire early-career presentations and structured small-group “Challenge Labs” focused on priority research themes, with the goal of identifying actionable gaps and shaping collaborative project concepts. This highly interactive format emphasizes practical outcomes, new partnerships, and sustained engagement beyond the session. Early-career investigators are strongly encouraged to apply.
