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 clinicians, allied healthcare professionals, surgeons, pathologists, other members of the wider IBD MDT, and basic and translational researchers, as well as Y-ECCO members, are welcome to apply. 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.

ECCO Membership is required to access / participate in this project. If you would like to become an ECCO Member or renew your Membership you can do so here.
