Our Sessions
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 Discussions
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.
Opening Sessions: All action
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.
Our Abstract-based Sessions
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.
On-site Poster Rounds
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 e-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:
- meet the authors
- experience face-to-face presentations
- ask your questions in-person
- and so much more
