Dear colleagues and friends,

We are thrilled to invite you to the 12^th edition of the Update on Hepatology Course which will traditionally take place at Crowne Plaza Bucharest from March 20 to 22^nd 2025, featuring an ideal professional environment for exchanging knowledge and experience.

Since 2014, Update on Hepatology has earned its reputation as the premier scientific event in hepatology in Romania. Bringing together renowned experts, clinicians, researchers, and enthusiastic young gastroenterologists, it is the perfect opportunity to share your passion for liver disease, explore cutting-edge topics, and contribute to advances in the study of liver diseases.

Addressing the topic “Transforming hepatology: From Science to Patient-Centered Care”, the course will be focused on the translational dimension of hepatology, bringing the latest advancements into clinical practice. Participants can expect a diverse program including plenary sessions on cutting-edge topics, multidisciplinary dialogues, and interactive challenging case presentations designed to enhance your knowledge, practical skills and grow your career in hepatology. Traditionally as well, several high-profile industry-supported satellite symposia will also take place.

The program was designed to cover and to promote your active participation and stimulate dynamic discussions. Beyond the stage, the course will provide inspiring opportunities, professional networking, inter-disciplinary collaboration to improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life of patients suffering from liver diseases.

The educational value of our event is reflected not only in the selection of topics and the expertise of our prestigious faculty, but also in the EASL and ESOT endorsement, an official recognition of the scientific quality and the impact that it brings on clinical practice.

We are grateful to the faculty members who have stepped up to provide such an insightful and clinically useful event, to our generous corporate supporters and, finally, to all the participants joining us to gain insights and inspiration from our scientific program and from experts propelling the field forward.

The faculty, the congress organizers and our team are looking forward to welcoming you and wish you an interesting, interactive, and enjoyable stay in Bucharest.
