2025 Joint Ectopic Calcification Meeting (JECM)—Abstract Proceedings

The 1st Joint Ectopic Calcification Meeting (JECM) was held in Nancy, France on 24–26 September 2025. In response to the growing need for unified scientific dialogue on soft tissue ectopic calcification, the Joint Ectopic Calcification Meeting (JECM) brought together the communities of INTEC, ISSEC, BBC, iSCCa, and the PXE Budapest meeting. This initiative emerged from concerns over fragmentation in the field, with multiple smaller meetings diluting collaborative potential. By consolidating efforts, JECM aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange, highlight cutting-edge research, and build a flagship event for the ectopic calcification community. With over 100 participants, the inaugural meeting in Nancy marks a promising step toward a more integrated and dynamic future for the field. The abstracts of this year’s meeting oral and poster presentations are collected in this conference paper, with permission from the corresponding authors.
