It is with great pleasure that the ESE – Erasmus School of Endoscopy announce a series of live porcine hands-on ESD and Third Space Endoscopy workshops in the training centers of the Erasmus School of Endoscopy in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the School of Health Sciences – University of Minho (ECS-UM) in Braga, Portugal and the Experimental-Research Center ELPEN, in Athens, Greece.

ESD and Third Space Endoscopy related techniques are increasingly practiced in Europe with a growing need for intensive individual training. We have developed a training program to master these techniques in a realistic setting using a live porcine model.

Next to hands-on training, the management of potential complications such as bleedings and perforations will be taught under guidance of an international faculty consisting of renowned experts in the field.

We hope that this unique workshop will serve the need for advanced training in this exciting and developing area of interventional endoscopy and look forward to welcoming you in Athens, Braga and Rotterdam!

On behalf of the the European Pancreatic Club and International Association of Pancreatology, it is a great honor for us to welcome you to the wonderful and breathtaking city of Istanbul for the joint EPC-IAP Meeting 2026. In Istanbul, not only Europe gets united with Asia but Istanbul also welcomes the entire world.

For that reason it is just the perfect city for these two societies to hold a joint meeting to unify Europe and the rest of the world for our beloved pancreas. It is not only important to meet all together, but also to built a platform where we all can collaborate and actively work in a joint manner for our patients with pancreatic diseases.

In this dimension, it is not only important to unify the knowledge of pancreatologists from all over the world but also to do this in a multidisciplinary fashion.

2026 EPC President, Güralp Ceyhan
