About the Awards

Showcasing achievement and success in the UK and European healthcare, biotech, pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors

The European Mediscience Awards is now in its 23rd year, having been held every year since inception in 2002*. The event is the largest annual gathering of private and publicly quoted healthcare, biotech and life sciences companies in Europe. Bringing together the best of European mediscience companies to celebrate achievement and recognise success, it is the must-attend event for anybody working in this sector. 

Each year sees the attendance of over 500 quoted and private UK and European life sciences companies and their corporate advisers, analysts, fund managers, commentators and peers. The event is sold out from one year to the next.

The European Mediscience Awards 2025 will take place on Thursday 12 June at the Hotel InterContinental, London, W1.

*with the exception of 2020 when we were unable to hold a live event due to COVID-19, but instead held a successful digital campaign.

The event


Sponsorship

Sponsorship opportunities sometimes become available, including sponsorship of an individual award, sponsorship of the official drinks reception or sponsorship of the menu. Sponsorship opportunities are, by their very nature, limited. Costs and availability on request.


Hosting a table

Reservations are available for tables of ten people. Numbers are strictly limited and reservations are taken on a first come, first served basis.


Advertising

Advertising in the digital brochure is welcomed and enables your key messages to reach a highly targeted audience. The digital event brochure is available to download on the night and contains details of the all nominees, the programme for the night and the menu. Uniquely, it also contains the names of all attendees, in alphabetical and table order. Thus it is widely used as  a reference post event for up to a year afterwards.


Bespoke sponsorship opportunities

We offer a range of bespoke sponsorship packages, tailor made to suit your marketing objectives and budget. Further information on request.

A charity collection was held at the European Mediscience Awards 2024 in respect of two charities: BCCS and The Brain Tumour Society. The total amount raised which was split equally between these two charities was:

£8,270


 

BCCS provides highly professional and well‑supported Social Workers and Counsellors to help children and young people who are in need.

BCCS works in the East End of London and Essex with children, young people and their families and schools to help them overcome emotional difficulties, behavioural problems and their root causes. The prime focus of the work is to provide an early intervention service to enable them to address difficulties that may be impeding their educational, social and emotional development.
