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.
