ECCO Scientific Workshop Papers
Access list of published ECCO Position Statements
ECCO Scientific Workshops aim at unraveling unanswered questions in the field of IBD, producing authoritative reviews and thus contributing to the body of knowledge. The workshops are launched bi-annually by our Scientific Committee (two-year process per workshop).
These workshops address a single question, with working groups performing a systematic review to be published and setting the goals for research to answer the question.
All interested basic scientists are welcome to apply prior to the deadline. Participants follow a strict ethical code including the agreement not to use discussions and resolutions outside of ECCO and to follow pre-discussed rules on publication and authorship. No direct industry sponsoring will be accepted.
