Scientific Programme

The biennial meeting NeuroGASTRO 2023 is a well-established European event. ESNM is proud to bring together leading experts and emerging young investigators actively involved in neurogastroenterology, digestive motility and functional gastrointestinal diseases from Europe and from all around the world to discuss cutting-edge research. The congress presents the latest in science and education in various formats to suit the needs of all participants, including challenging state-of-the-art lectures.
