EAPS on UNLOK: Extending Paediatric Learning Beyond the Congress 

The European Academy of Paediatric Societies (EAPS) has taken a significant step in expanding access to paediatric and neonatal education with the launch of its official education portal on UNLOK. 

Designed as a free, global learning platform, EAPS on UNLOK creates a dedicated online home for high-quality educational content developed by leading experts across the full spectrum of child health. The platform supports healthcare professionals at every stage of their careers, offering a flexible and accessible way to engage with reliable, clinically relevant knowledge. 

More than an extension of congress content, the platform introduces a continuous learning environment that connects education before, during and beyond EAPS events, with new resources and formats being added on an ongoing basis.

A Dedicated Education Hub for the Global Paediatric Community 

Positioned as the recognised online education hub for EAPS, the UNLOK portal provides healthcare professionals with access to a wide range of expert-led resources, continuously expanded to reflect evolving clinical priorities.

The platform is designed to support a global audience, including paediatricians, neonatologists, residents, fellows, nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, researchers and educators. Regardless of location or career stage, users can access practical insights that support day-to-day clinical practice and long-term professional development. 

At its core, the platform focuses on making learning simple, accessible and relevant, while continuing to expand in response to the needs of its global community. Registration follows a straightforward three-step process: selecting the Paediatrics Education, completing registration, and logging in to begin learning. 

Free Access, Continuous Learning 

One of the defining features of EAPS on UNLOK is its open-access model. 

The platform is available free of charge, allowing healthcare professionals worldwide to engage with trusted educational content without barriers. This approach reflects a broader commitment to supporting knowledge sharing and improving access to high-quality medical education. 

Since its launch in April 2026, the platform has already begun to build momentum, bringing together a growing international community of learners and contributors, with new content and engagement opportunities introduced regularly.

Content Designed for Real Clinical Practice 

The educational offering on EAPS on UNLOK combines multiple formats, with new modules and topics continuously introduced to support evolving learning needs and professional advancement.

Available content includes: 

• Webinars and e-learning modules, offering structured guidance on key topics 

• Microlearning, delivering focused insights in concise, practical formats 

• Case-based learning, supporting applied clinical decision-making 

• Expert interviews, providing perspectives from leading voices in paediatrics 

• Clinical innovation discussions, exploring emerging trends such as artificial intelligence in healthcare 

The topics already covered reflect both current priorities and emerging areas of interest, including respiratory infections such as RSV, fever management in children, vaccination in pregnancy, infant gut microbiome, breastfeeding, allergy prevention and the role of AI in clinical decision-making. 

This mix of formats and subjects ensures that learning is both comprehensive and immediately relevant to clinical practice. 

Early Engagement and Growth 

The early performance of the platform highlights strong engagement and global reach. 

• 1,800+ participants have registered for the first webinars
• Healthcare professionals from 80 countries are already represented
• A recent session on AI in paediatrics reached a record 1,080 registrants
• 96% of users are healthcare professionals 

In addition, the platform delivers one free webinar and one expert-developed microlearning module each month, ensuring a steady flow of new, relevant content. 

These early indicators demonstrate both the demand for accessible paediatric education and the role of the platform in meeting that need. 

From Congress to Continuous Learning 

EAPS on UNLOK reflects a broader shift in how scientific communities engage with education. 

Rather than limiting learning to a single congress moment, the platform extends the value of EAPS throughout the year. It allows participants to revisit key topics, explore new areas of interest, and engage with educational content at their own pace. 

This approach creates a more connected and continuous learning experience, supporting both individual development and the broader paediatric community. 

Looking Ahead to EAPS 2026 

The platform also plays a key role in the build-up to the EAPS 2026 Congress in Athens and online, offering a bridge between ongoing education and future participation. 

By combining digital learning with in-person and hybrid experiences, and continuously expanding its educational offering, EAPS continues to strengthen its global community and support knowledge exchange across regions, disciplines and career stages. 

A Platform for Knowledge, Growth and Community 

The launch of EAPS on UNLOK marks an important step in expanding access to paediatric and neonatal education worldwide. 

By bringing together expert-led content and flexible formats, the platform provides a reliable environment for learning, collaboration and professional growth. 

As the platform continues to grow, with new content, formats and learning opportunities being introduced over time, it offers healthcare professionals a practical way to stay informed, develop their expertise and contribute to improving child health outcomes across the globe.
