Our recent meeting, the Declaration of Salamanca, marked a significant step forward in our collective mission to strengthen allergy education across Europe. Held in Salamanca, Spain, from October 17–18, 2025, this gathering brought together leading experts, educators, and advocates dedicated to ensuring that allergology gains the academic and institutional presence it needs at the undergraduate level. By embedding a solid foundation of allergy knowledge early in medical training, students can be better equipped to recognize and manage allergic conditions, refer patients appropriately, and develop an early interest in pursuing allergology as a specialty, securing the future of the field and improving patient care across Europe.
As allergy continues to emerge as a pressing public health crisis, the need for well-trained professionals is essential not only to safeguard the quality of life of patients but also to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of healthcare systems across Europe. together we emphasized the importance of coming together to nurture the next generation of specialists who will carry this mission forward. To guide these efforts, we agreed on the creation of a “Decalogue”—a set of guiding principles to define educational standards and unify advocacy efforts across Europe, with each participant serving as an ambassador for this cause within their own institutions and countries.
