Y-ECCO Future Leaders in IBD Academy

This stand-alone event is aimed at transferring career and scientific knowledge from senior experts to juniors gastroenterologists within the field of IBD. The Y-ECCO Future Leaders in IBD Academy (previously called Y-ECCO Mentorship Forum) is about questioning, challenging, guiding and encouraging young doctors to develop skills and take steps to become the professional they want to be. In addition, this forum should enable the participants to network with their peers and senior KOLs for potential future scientific collaboration.
