5th International Donor Milk Research Congress

On 25 September 2026, the 5th International Donor Milk Research Congress brought us to Milan, the city where EMBA was officially launched in 2010.

Fifty-two participants joined us, in person and online. That turnout shows how much our association has grown.

The SoHO Regulation is changing the way milk banks work across the European Union. This congress showed how EMBA can help donor milk banking professionals put the new rules into practice.

A special thank you to all the researchers who presented their work. Your studies are what move donor milk banking forward. And thank you to everyone who took part.
