The day – the 13th of July 2025 – was chosen as it marks the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of a ‘mystery illness’ at the Royal Free Hospital in London in 1955. This illness was later labelled as ‘benign myalgic encephalomyelitis’ in a 1956 piece published in the Lancet.

Although the outbreak at the Royal Free was not the first time this disease had been observed – or indeed the first outbreak – it is considered to be a seminal moment in the history of ME/CFS.

Therefore, ME Research Day 2025 will highlight the importance of the first major research point in ME/CFS history – the outbreak at the Royal Free.
