The United European Gastroenterology (UEG) is a non-profit organisation combining European societies concerned with digestive health.

About

Founded in 1992, United European Gastroenterology (UEG) is a professional non-profit organisation combining European societies concerned with digestive health. Its mission is to improve the prevention and care of digestive diseases in Europe through providing education, supporting research and improving clinical standards.

Structure

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, Vice President, Secretary General and Treasurer.

The operating body is formed by committees. Each committee is assigned a set of responsibilities and tasks associated with the different activities of UEG.

UEG is a Regional Affiliate Association of the World Gastroenterology Organisation. UEG is a member of the European Medicines Agency, the Alliance for Biomedical Research, the AC Forum, and Pancreatic Cancer Europe.

The current president of UEG is Paul Fockens^[1].
