Dear colleagues

ESGE is closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation regarding the COVID-19 virus and ESGE Days 2020.

Given this unique and difficult time in the world, we would like to thank all of you for your ongoing understanding and patience – our members, our congress registrants, our faculty and our corporate partners.

Due to the outstanding circumstances of this pandemic, the deadline for registration cancellation for all participants who are not able to attend ESGE Days 2020 because of COVID-19 related restrictions has been extended until April 15.

Update on Coronavirus and ESGE Days 2020

Welcome words

Dear colleagues

The goals of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) have always been underpinned by the fundamental aims of increasing quality of care, establishing guidelines for best practice and developing educational programmes. After the resounding success of our first two congresses, we are happy to invite you to ESGE Days 2020, taking place in Dublin, Ireland in April 2020.

ESGE Days has already proven itself to be an attractive congress for all those interested in endoscopy. Our aspiration from the outset was to bring together the whole endoscopy team and we met our goal. Alongside fully trained endoscopists and heads of units, nurses and the aspiring new generation of residents and fellows joined us in Prague to discuss advances in our field, contributing to continued education and sharing the latest updates. In Dublin, renowned experts will again gather for a state-of-the-art meeting, bringing together live demonstration, lectures, hands-on training, specialized symposia and discussions.

After welcoming more than 1,400 participants in Budapest in 2018 and 2,400 participants from 97 countries in Prague in 2019, we anticipate a highly successful congress in Dublin. We would therefore like to extend a welcome to our colleagues, both fully trained and in-training, across the fields of gastroenterology and endoscopic nursing.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dublin!
