Just like the newsroom of a network station, our Live TV Studio will showcase exclusive, unique live formats – many of which are making their debut this year!
Watch from the edge of your seat as our top international GI experts and non-GI experts are joined by professional moderator, Jonathan McCrea for excellent unseen discussions, updates and more! This stellar content is available in a gripping in-person format for our Vienna delegates (you can even sit in our studio as we’re recording) and in impeccable livestream format for our delegates joining virtually.
Check out our innovative TV Studio programme:
This is the place to meet your peers for networking and scientific exchange! In addition to Moderated Poster Sessions and the poster exhibition, you can use this area for face-to-face interaction with other delegates. All posters will be featured on terminals thus allowing delegates an experience similar to walking through our physical poster exhibition. The virtual exhibition will additionally feature the possibility to play previously recorded audio presentations. All Poster presenters are invited to include such a recording of their presentation.
The Moderated Poster session area is exclusively available to all on-site delegates.

Occurring in our TV Studio in-person and virtually, our Vienna Live Sessions will include in-depth scientific discussions, interviews with top leaders in the field and controversial debates. We will broadcast up to 6 times each day. Each broadcast will feature dynamic scientific highlights, providing an interactive delegate experience!
This unseen concept is truly where the GI community meets society. Focused on the riveting topics of, “Forced immigration: Influences on our medical care”, “Are we ready to accept a medical decision by AI?”, and “Should treatment in GI be economically driven?”, these hot discussions will always feature 2 digestive health experts, 1 non-GI expert who specialises in the related field and our professional moderator. Join us on this exciting journey into uncharted UEG territory.
Join live for this dynamic session focused on UEG Research! It will include our unveiling of the brand new second White Book, as well as a presentation of its details by UEG Research Committee Chair, Luigi Ricciardiello. It will also feature UEG Research Prize Winner 2022, Neil Henderson and UEG Research Fellow 2020 and current UEG Journal Trainee Editor, Chloé Melchior.
On both Monday and Tuesday, we are thrilled to shed light on the monumental accomplishment that is being selected as a UEG Rising Star as well as officially present our 2022 awardees.
Take a closer look at the success stories of those who were awarded previously (current UEG President, Helena Cortez-Pinto and UEG Journal Editor-in-Chief, Joost PH Drenth to name a few). All of this and more is in-store, so be sure to tune in!
UEG is so much more than our annual congress. We are here to help you, our myUEG Community, to advance, connect and thrive all year-round! Join this new Live Session:
Start your day on a high note! Put your feet up, unwind, and tune in to enjoy discussions with key UEG players, as well as their recommendations or “gut feelings” on the highlights of the day.
Need a concise and upbeat overview of what happened during the previous day? Tune in and get caught up with our panel of world renowned and highly qualified experts as they highlight their top picks from the programme. This will also provide guidance on what you may have missed and need to watch on-demand!

Interdisciplinary sessions cover new approaches to diagnosis and treatment, and place major emphasis on innovative, technical advances in the non-invasive management of gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders and translational/basic science. This includes state-of-the-art lectures on the subjects. UEG Week 2022 will also feature various topic highlights such as:
In these highly interactive sessions, a panel of four experts in the field discuss common clinical situations based on a short presentation of a case, a scenario, or a specific clinical problem. The audience is invited to contribute to the discussion with questions and comments.
During the Live Endoscopy on Tuesday, October 11, top international experts will demonstrate cutting-edge techniques alongside basic procedures transmitted directly to UEG Week in Vienna and your living room. The inclusion of multiple parallel cases and experienced chairs ensures an interactive learning experience. The Live Endoscopy is run in cooperation with ESGE.
Our Opening Sessions on Sunday, October 9 are the official start of the scientific programme and have so much great content, they require two parts! They include our prestigious Top Abstract presentations and Research Prize presentation, as well as state-of-the-art lectures on Target discovery for GI-diseases and Propofol: An indispensable drug in GI endoscopy. Both in-person and virtual delegates have the opportunity to ask questions.
The most important feature of UEG Week is the science, and this is recognised in the programme through the large number of Abstract-based Sessions devoted to original research. These sessions allow lively discussions about the best original research submitted to UEG Week and provide delegates an opportunity to hear about GI and liver research both in Europe and worldwide before it is published.
This year the deadline for late breaking submissions is again as close as possible to UEG Week, to ensure that state-of-the-art research with up-to-date results, which might be ready just in time before the congress, can be submitted. Make sure to attend these sessions to get an update on the latest and greatest science!
During this session, brief videos showing examples of new, unexpected, or exceptional endoscopic practice will be presented and briefly discussed. Thus, the Video Case Session presents either unusual cases or new technologies based on diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.
The moderated poster sessions are an excellent platform for in-depth scientific exchange with faculty and peers in a relaxed atmosphere. They also present an ideal opportunity to attend highly interactive and expertly led poster presentations.
The best is back: The return of our physical Poster Exhibition
We are delighted to inform that this UEG Week, we are bringing back physical poster rounds with our innovative, in-person poster terminals! (Paper posters are a way of the past – this UEG Week they are no longer needed.)
Make sure to stop by Monday and Tuesday, October 10 – 11, from 12:30 – 13:30 CEST!
Take advantage of this top notch opportunity to:
The industry exhibition is the place for delegates to get updates on new therapies and the latest product innovations available in the world of digestive health. Join us in-person in Vienna as we return to welcoming the pharmaceutical and medical device industries at the UEG Week 2022 Exhibition. Take the opportunity to engage with them and update yourself on innovations relating to the tools of your trade. If you are unable to attend the congress in-person, no problem, the virtual platform has you covered as you will be able to connect with industry supporters from the comfort of your office, or from home.
