EASL-AASLD Masterclass 2025
4 – 6 Dec 2025
Élincourt-Sainte-Marguerite, France
The 2025 EASL-AASLD Masterclass is a unique opportunity for early-stage investigators in academic hepatology to take their careers to the next level. This two-day intensive training session will bring together clinical, basic, and translational scientists from leading academic medical institutions from both sides of the Atlantic in France.
The programme has been designed with future leaders in mind, and includes academic lectures, interactive break-out sessions, individual meetings with tutors, abstract presentations, a poster session, and social events which will give early-stage investigators (MD, PhD, or MD/PhD, or equivalent) the opportunity to network with renowned leaders in hepatology and like-minded colleagues in the field.
EASL will provide complimentary registration, travel, and accommodation expenses for up to 15 candidates who are full members of EASL to attend the Masterclass. AASLD will also bring 10 early stage-investigator candidates from the US to attend the Masterclass.
