The main aim of ICCA 2017 is to make an important contribution to ensuring that the known gaps in the study of the social issues of childhood are recognised and addressed through a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together contributions from the various professional and scientific fields which, from different perspectives, seek to promote a healthier and happier childhood. The first International Congress on Children and Adolescents and 4th Annual Meeting of the Social Paediatrics Section of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Pediatria (Portuguese Society of Paediatrics) took place on 28 January 2017, an event conceived and organised to promote an important dialogue on the social issues of childhood. The event was designed to be innovative, focusing less on the speakers and being more open to the active participation of the audience. Above all, this choice seeks to bring together knowledge and know-how, which will certainly be a unique opportunity both for researchers and for professionals working in the various fields related to childhood.
