Programme

Enjoy the best of both worlds where we will deliver one event but allow two experiences, both in Vienna and virtually.

The scientific programme features scientific highlights in extremely interactive ways. In every session, delegates have the opportunity to interact in real-time via our Q&A tool both in-person and virtually.

Unable to watch live? Don't worry! The on-demand recordings are easily accessible on our virtual congress platform.

Live TV Studio 

Just like the newsroom of a network station, our Live TV Studio will exclusively showcase unique live formats such as the, UEG Week digested interviews with experts and the Good morning UEG Week. Our top international experts will be joined by professional moderators in the studio for excellent discussions, updates and more – don’t miss out, either in-person or virtually.
 

Session Rooms

You can either visit during our face-to-face congress, or join virtually. You will be able to access a multitude of session formats in these halls, such as Sessions, Abstract-based Sessions, the Translational/Basic Science Sessions, the Live Endoscopy and many more. All session rooms/halls will feature Q&A options for in-person and virtual participants.

Science Lounge: Posters & Networking 

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.

Hands-on Area

The Hands-on Area at UEG Week offers excellent training for practical minded gastroenterologists to advance their knowledge, remain up to date and practice techniques that are in-demand. Look, learn, ask questions and perform techniques under personal doctor and nurse tutoring in the Endoscopy or Ultrasound Learning Area. Thanks to our collaborators, ESGE, ESGENA, EFSUMB and BICUS for their excellent cooperation in running the Learning Areas.

Good Morning UEG Week 

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. 
 

UEG Week digested

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!
 

Sessions

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:

• Mistakes in...: We continue this highly successful sessions and introduce a new instalment: Never waste a good disaster, where we get up close and personal with leaders in the field! 
• Translational / Basic Science Session: These sessions include topics that will potentially affect clinical practice within the near future, thereby being attractive for both basic/translational scientists and clinicians.
• Where basic scientists meet clinicians: New for UEG Week 2022, another offer stressing the importance of translational work for both basic scientists and clinicians.
• Today's Science; Tomorrow's Medicine: An initiative that will focus on research and the clinical implications from one of the hottest research areas today: Genetic Vulnerabilities in GI-disease.
• Advances in Clinical GI & Hepatology: Our clinically oriented one-day symposium within the meeting, focusing on Immunemodulation in GI disease this year.

Case-based Discussion

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.

Live Endoscopy

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.

Afternoon Session: All action

The Opening Session on Sunday afternoon, October 9 is the official start of the scientific programme. It will include state-of-the-art lectures given by invited experts as well as prestigious Top Abstract presentations. Both face-to-face and virtual delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Abstract-based Sessions

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.

Late Breaking Abstracts

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!

Video Case Session

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.

Moderated Posters 

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.

Industry Exhibition

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.
