Every year the ESPGHAN meeting attracts the key opinion leaders in the field of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition from across Europe and all five continents, turning it into the largest conference of its kind worldwide.

The previous 49th congress held in Athens was attended by more than 4.000 delegates from 103 countries, and the positive feedback received on last year’s congress was overwhelming.

The ever growing high attendance and the enthusiasm shared by the attendees motivates us to create an even more attractive scientific programme for the 50th annual meeting in Prague in 2017. This will include a wide range of scientific session and symposia as well as the clinical track, Post Graduate Courses and the hands-on Learning Zone.

ESPGHAN aimed to promote child health and increase understanding and treatment of disease states and was a platform for scientific exchange, offering a high standard education programme to learn about the latest advances and clinical developments focusing on gastrointestinal disorders, liver diseases, and nutrition

47th Annual Meeting of The European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition The scientific programme included recent advances and state of the art lectures covering genetic, immunological, microbiological and clinical developments in the field of gastrointestinal disorders, liver diseases, and nutrition.

The Annual Meeting of ESPGHAN with over 3,500 physicians, researchers and scientists from around the world offered a platform for scientific exchange and offer a high standard education programme: making them the best place to learn about the latest advances in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition. The majority of attendees were university based physicians, clinicians in private practise and basic or clinical scientists.
