ECA 25

Anatomy Unbound: Integrating Disciplines & Connecting Generations

University of Nottingham - 23rd & 24th June 2025

ECA Hybrid Conference 2025

Our 4th annual hybrid conference was hosted by Leia Boote and Alex Impedovo at the University of Nottingham.


ECA 25 took place on Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th June 2025.


Our theme this year was 'Anatomy Unbound: Integrating Disciplines & Connecting Generations'.

ECA Conference Ethos

  • Give a platform to early career anatomists to share work, ideas, and insights. 
  • Accept abstracts from a range of topics and levels of experience. You do not need to be research active to submit abstracts to this conference. We encourage anyone to submit whether you are a student, academic, technician, clinician or other.
  • Provide a friendly and unintimidating environment to network with other anatomists.
  • Improve your confidence in presenting your work at conferences and help you build your communication skills.

ECA Quiz

On the Monday evening after our workshops, we all headed to the ECA Quiz written by Anthony Bright and hosted by Alex Impedovo!


Well done to the victors: the Vagal Vanquishers!

ECA Dinner

After that, we had our Conference Dinner at Bella Italia with amazing food!

Drinks & Dancing

Then late into the evening (2am...), we moved on to NQ64 Arcade Bar for some drinks, games, and dancing.

This was followed by more cocktails and more dancing at a club (pictures redacted)... with very little sleep for some by the morning.

Anatome's Day of Diversity

Wednesday 25th June 2025

On Wednesday 25th June, just after ECA 25, another event took place at the University of Nottingham.


It was the first conference and launch event of Anatome, an initiative focus on inclusive anatomical education.


Aisia Lea, Anatome's Founder, previously presented about this initiative at ECA 24 in Sunderland - You can check it out here.

Aisia also discussed 'Taking Steps to Diversify Anatomical Education: A Student’s Perspective' for an ECA Webinar in October 2024.


Check out the link below to get all the information on this event and the resources available from Anatome.
