The 2025 Annual Conference Scientific Program includes symposium presentations, which offer multiple researchers’ perspectives on related themes, showcasing the breadth of expertise in the ISOQOL community. Presentations and debate among speakers address alternative solutions, interpretations or points of view within the symposium topic area.

Symposium sessions occur on two separate conference days, and cover a variety of topics: there’s something for everyone!

Symposia will not be recorded or available on-demand, so please join us in person in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, for these presentations.

Symposia topics include:

  • Key Findings from the EuroQol DAPHNIE Project: A Comprehensive International Study on Population Health Assessment and Comparative Analysis of Health Measurement Instruments Across 15 Countries
  • Sharing knowledge and seeking solutions: Lessons from research networks to advance the use of PROs in clinical practice
  • Treatment burden in cancer: Exploring the unsung work of patients and survivors
  • PRO be nimble, PRO be quick: Challenges, opportunities, and the unique experiences of standing up a centralized PRO data collection system alongside a clinical registry for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy patients
