FNPS Annual Meeting 2026 — Utrecht

The annual meeting of the Fetal and Neonatal Physiological Society (FNPS) is an international scientific conference for researchers and clinicians involved in fetal and neonatal physiology. The 2026 meeting will take place in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The exact dates, location, and scientific program are yet to be announced.

The International Scientific Congress of Fetal and Neonatal Physiology

The Fetal and Neonatal Physiological Society (FNPS) is an international scientific society that unites researchers and clinicians in the field of fetal and neonatal physiology. The FNPS organizes an annual congress at various locations worldwide. Previous congresses have been held in Utrecht (2012), Maastricht (2008), Kerkrade (2018), and Nijmegen (1999), among others—the Netherlands thus has a strong tradition as host country. The 2025 congress took place on Rottnest Island near Perth, Australia; the 2026 congress will return to the Netherlands.

Design and programme

The annual FNPS conference has an intimate, small-scale format, emphasizing scientific exchange, abstract presentations, and intensive networking among international researchers. Typical components include plenary lectures, abstract sessions, and a social program. The content, speakers, and exact program outline for the 2026 edition in Utrecht will be published at a later date via thefnps.org.

Who is the FNPS Annual Meeting for?

The meeting is aimed at scientists, researchers and clinicians active in perinatal physiology — the field that studies the physiological processes of the fetus and newborn, with applications in obstetrics, neonatology and pediatrics.
