Leadership & Governance

Young Investigators (YI) task force

The YI task force advises the EASL Governing Board on specific educational initiatives for young hepatologists. The group organises different activities during EASL Congress™ such as the:

YI Seminar

  • The YI Seminar deals with topics of particular interest for YIs that are not covered by other sessions at the EASL CongressTM

YI sessions at the EASL Share at the Community Hub

  • The sessions aim at addressing practical questions from YIs. Invited presenters are part of the EASL Community willing to share their experience and expertise of a specific topic in an informal environment.

YI social activities

  • YI social events generally occur on Thursday evening during the EASL CongressTM. This is a great opportunity to network and interact with other YIs. Pre-registration for social events is required.

YI Award

  • The YI Task Force reviews applications received for the YI Award recognising two YIs based on their international liver research achievements.

Who are the EASL Young Investigators?

  • host an exclusive social networking event during the EASL Congress™ solely for YIs
  • create an online network of friends via the EASL Facebook page
  • encourage other YIs to become EASL members and join the EASL community
