These topics feature organs, diseases as well as specialty interests such as the Mechanisms & Personalised Medicine. It contains sessions that focus on important research and clinical topics in gastroenterology: from understanding the mechanisms of fibrogenesis in HPB to the microbiome – tackled from different perspectives - and the role of technology and precision medicine in advancing digestive oncology and IBD treatment.
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 2023 will also feature various topic highlights such as:
Taking place on Monday and Tuesday during lunch time, these session cover interactive clinical-case discussions, situations, and specific daily clinical routine problems, approached by a multidisciplinary panel of four experts.

During the ESGE Live Endoscopy on Tuesday, October 17, top international experts will demonstrate cutting-edge techniques alongside basic procedures transmitted directly to UEG Week in Copenhagen and your living room. The inclusion of multiple parallel cases and experienced chairs ensures an interactive learning experience. The ESGE Live Endoscopy is run in cooperation with ESGE.
The most important feature of UEG Week is the science, and this is recognised in the programme through the large number of Abstract 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. These sessions can only be attended on-site.
