Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gastroenterologie, Verdauungs- und Stoffwechselkrankheiten mit der Sektion für gastroenterologische Endoskopie (DGVS) begeht ihre 75. Jahrestagung zusammen mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Allgemein- und Viszeralchirurgie (DGAV).

Since mid-March, we have been living in a different reality, unknown to us so far, created by the COVID-19 epidemic. This reality is characterized by a tendency to avoid direct interpersonal contacts, both professional and social. Scientific and educational congresses are the essence of such contacts, and any attempts to restrain them would reduce the global effect of such ventures. The date of the PTG-E Congress, for which I and my team are responsible, was scheduled for September 24-26, 2020.

We have been closely following the processes of "defrosting" particular spheres of life and plans for the organization of other large medical events envisaged for autumn this year They are usually canceled or limited by software and converted into webinars. I am afraid that you would not like this form of Congress, apart from the technical issues of ensuring uninterrupted transmission of video and audio from 4 conference rooms with the possibility of active participation of participants in discussions.

After consultations with the Management Board of PTG-E and Termedia, which is responsible for congress logistics, we came to the conclusion that the only right solution would be to postpone the date of the Congress to the next year, more precisely to 16-18 September 2021.

European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG) 2021 is organized by European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG).

On behalf of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), it gives us great pleasure to invite you to Digital NAFLD Summit 2021. The meeting will be held 16–17 September 2021.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease, not only in Western countries, but also across many other developed and developing countries.

In addition to state-of-the-art updates on disease definition, epidemiology, and pathophysiology from international research leaders, Digital NAFLD Summit 2021 will enable us to address many of the key challenges in clinical practice and drug development. These challenges include: identifying biomarkers for patient risk stratification, identifying disease subsets with distinct features, and developing therapeutic targets for testing in early and late phase clinical trials.

At EASL, we are committed to helping clinicians, researchers, and students to network with many and varied stakeholders in the field of hepatology. We strive to give them the opportunity to share their research and to learn among peers, across Europe and beyond.

The ESMO Congress is the yearly appointment in Europe for nearly 30’000 clinicians, researchers, oncology nurses, patient advocates, journalists and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry from all over the world to get together, learn about the latest advances in oncology and translate science into better cancer patient care.

The ESMO 2021 programme will be developed by a committee composed of more than 300 international experts and will span from basic research to the latest discoveries in immunotherapy of cancer, form oncology nursing to palliative care, from rare cancers to approval of medicines.

Paris will be the home of the ESMO annual congress for the first time, taking place from 17 to 21 September 2021 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France.

The British Association for the Study of the Liver (BASL) is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of the biology and pathology of the liver for the optimal care of patients. BASL is composed of interested individuals from clinical medicine, clinical and basic research and allied health professions.
The BASL Committee has made the difficult decision to host their Annual Meeting virtually again in 2021 and will take place on the afternoons of Tuesday 21^st to Friday 24^th September 2021. The Annual Meeting is the highlight of the BASL calendar and usually attracts around 400 delegates throughout the week, bringing together clinicians, nurses, scientists and all those interested in liver disease and liver transplantation.
This is the perfect opportunity for the liver industry to virtually come together and share knowledge and collaborate through a virtual platform. Our virtual meeting allows for first-hand experience and exclusive insights from key leaders regarding best practice in managing and outsourcing in clinical trials through testing times, such as the pandemic we are currently living.

EASL is delighted to announce the launch of Bleeding, Thrombosis, and Vascular Liver Diseases, taking place 7–9 October in Geneva (Switzerland).

Liver disease is associated with haemostatic alterations that may lead to both bleeding and thrombotic complications that are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. This EASL–VALDIG meeting will focus on the pathogenesis and management of patients with haemostatic alterations. Special interest will be paid to multidisciplinary management and identification of future areas of research.

The programme will outline the current and newly generated evidence regarding haemostatic alterations, in relation to thrombosis and bleeding complications in patients with liver disease. The programme will cover the main areas of interest such us management of haemostatic alterations in patients undergoing invasive procedures and treatment of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in liver transplant candidates. A part of the programme will be dedicated to reviewing the new data generated in the field of vascular liver diseases. To highlight the importance of the multidisciplinary management and the strong need to perform collaborative studies, we will provide a mix of speakers, from different clinical and scientific backgrounds, patient organisations, and European policy officers. Moreover, we will revise and compare the available guidelines on haemostasis in patients with liver disease.

The International Workshop on Liver and Gut Fibrosis will take place in Valencia, Spain on 7-8 October 2021. Organized by the University of Valencia, sponsored by CIBEREHD and FISABIO, and endorsed by several scientific societies, this event will bring together basic scientists and clinical experts to explore the molecular mechanisms involved in the various types of fibrosis and to determine those that are common to different organs, particularly the gut and liver. It will seek a translational approach to exploring options that might improve current therapies and new pharmacological targets that could relieve the burden of fibrosis for millions of patients.

The event, which will be held at ADEIT-Fundació Universitat-Empresa de València, in the historic centre of the beautiful Mediterranean city of Valencia, is aimed at clinicians and basic/translational researchers from universities and research institutes, as well as professionals working in hospitals and health services (resident doctors, medical students and nurses).
