Founded in 1992 United European Gastroenterology (UEG) is the leading non-profit organisation for excellence in digestive health in [[Europe]] and beyond with its headquarters in Vienna.

We improve the prevention and care of digestive diseases in Europe through providing top tier education, supporting research and advancing clinical standards. As Europe’s home and umbrella for multidisciplinary [[gastroenterology]], we unite over 50,000 engaged professionals from national and specialist societies, individual digestive health experts and related scientists from all fields and career stages.

UEG unites 17 Specialist Member Societies and 50 National Societies working in the broad area of digestive health, constantly adapting to the changing requirements of scientific research and health care.
UEG as an organisation encompasses Specialist Members and National Society Members. The 17 Specialist Members are organisations in the field of [[gastroenterology]] and related disciplines representing their specialty on a pan-European level. The scope of these societies ranges from gastroenterological medicine and [[surgery]] to focused organ-oriented and special interest associations. 47 National Gastroenterology Societies are direct members of UEG. The UEG Council is the governing body of UEG and assigns the Executive Committee, composed of [[President (corporate title)|President]], [[Vice President]], [[Secretary General]] and [[Treasurer]].


Following our mission and a dedicated [https://ueg.eu/about/what-we-do strategic plan], the overall leadership and strategic direction of UEG rests with the Council. The committees and task forces enable interested volunteers to play an active role in shaping current and future UEG initiatives and form the operating body of the organisation.
The operating body is formed by committees. Each committee is assigned a set of responsibilities and tasks associated with the different activities of UEG.


Member Societies are represented in the Meeting of Members that elects or appoints UEG Council members. Each Specialist Member Society has the opportunity to send one representative to UEG’s committees.
