UEG Activity Grants

We fund your activities

UEG promotes and funds educational projects in the field of digestive health in our efforts to advance and harmonise the training and continuing education of professionals, and to improve clinical standards and services to reduce health inequalities across Europe.

In line with these efforts, UEG’s educational strategy is based on the competencies outlined in the European specialty training programme and curriculum for gastroenterology and hepatology, the so-called Blue Book.

The online application for Online Courses & Standards and Guidelines initiatives 2023 is closed.

Application for contribution to Live Educational and Scientific Events

Funding

We offer contribution to the cost of live educational or scientific events held in 2023 and organised by one or jointly by more than one UEG Member Society or in conjunction with Common Interest Groups, to promote our multidisciplinary field. UEG assumes that stand alone congresses and regular postgraduate activities of our Member Societies are organised independently. However, symposia or workshops which are organised in conjunction with (before or after) an annual regular event may qualify for this UEG support.
