ESGAR 2025 - 36th Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course

Meeting President's Invitation

Dear Colleagues,
It is a great honour for me to invite you – also on behalf of the Local Organising Committee – to the 36th ESGAR Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course May 13 – 16, 2025 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

This is the second time that the ESGAR Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course is held in the Netherlands. The first occasion was in 1997 in Amsterdam and it was envisioned to take place in the Netherlands in 2020 but unfortunately it had to be cancelled at short notice because of the COVID pandemic. In the intervening 28 years ESGAR has grown from an – already at that time – established meeting to the premier gastrointestinal and abdominal imaging meeting.

The ESGAR 2025 Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course brings you a state of the art, in depth overview of gastrointestinal and abdominal radiology in 2025 and beyond. Experts in the field will provide you with an update on topics from your daily practice as well as what is new in the field. Educational formats include...

Abstract Submission

The ESGAR Annual Meeting has evolved into a global platform for sharing research in gastrointestinal and abdominal radiology. It offers a high-quality educational and scientific programme. The programme, created by the ESGAR 2025 Programme Committee, promotes excellent scientific research and encourages the sharing of the latest findings in diagnostic and interventional abdominal and GI radiology.

With a commitment to inclusivity and representation on a global scale, the ESGAR 2025 Programme Committee invites the submission of abstracts for scientific and educational presentations. These submissions will be reviewed, and selected abstracts will have the opportunity to shine through scientific (oral) presentations or electronic poster presentations, ensuring a well-rounded and diverse scientific programme that resonates with radiologists from around the world.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS CLOSED - THANK YOU TO ALL SUBMITTERS!
