The Swiss Academy of Childhood Disability (SACD) Research Day has become an important platform for exchange and collaboration in the field of childhood-onset disability. Previous editions brought together researchers, clinicians, and students from across disciplines, featuring inspiring keynotes, presentations of innovative research, and lively discussions.

​

The most recent Research Day gathered over 50 participants and included presentations ranging from early study protocols to finalized research on topics such as pain, sleep, emotional health, AI-based assessment tools, and rehabilitation approaches. A dedicated forum also highlighted the value of inter-generational collaboration in research. Read the full report of the day here.

​

The next SACD Research Day will continue this tradition, offering opportunities for learning, interdisciplinary exchange, and networking. The program will include a keynote lecture, an Early Career Research Forum, and presentations of current research projects. Monetary prizes will be awarded for the best presentations, kindly supported by the Anna Müller Grocholski Foundation.

​

The General Assembly of the Swiss Cerebral Palsy Registry (Swiss-CP-Reg) will take place during the Research Day and is open to all interested parties.

​

We welcome participants from all career stages and backgrounds. Clinicians, professionals in education, and students interested in childhood disability are especially encouraged to attend.
