Programme

Here we present the full programme for NordCoag 2026, including the Pre-Congress Course, Scientific Sessions, Social Events and Industry-sponsored mini-sessions. The scientific programme has been developed by the session chairs to ensure broad coverage of key topics within thrombosis and haemostasis, spanning basic science, clinical practice and laboratory medicine.

Please note that the programme is still preliminary and will be further developed during the spring. Registration of interest for industry-sponsored mini-sessions will be available via a link; places are limited and further details will be provided in due course. Short bios of the invited speakers will be available on a dedicated page.
