European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL)

Rapid advancements in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma are transforming treatment strategies, with immunotherapy, new systemic therapies, and AI-driven diagnostics reshaping the field. This summit offers a unique opportunity to engage with experts across disciplines, explore the latest in basic, translational, and clinical research, and address evolving standards in personalised care. Join the global liver cancer community in Edinburgh from 22–24 January 2026.

Liver tumours

European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL)

he EASL SLD Summit 2026 aims at updating you on the most recent advances in Steatotic Liver Disease (SLD) including MASLD, MetALD and ALD research, both pre-clinically and clinically and looking into the potential interaction between the 2 most important drivers of SLD. The Summit is a unique opportunity to exchange with both young fellows and established experts in the field in a highly interactive format with a lot of room for discussion.

European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL)

EASL Congress is Europe’s largest event dedicated to liver health, bringing together doctors, scientists, allied health professionals, patients, and industry partners to share knowledge, highlight breakthroughs, and build meaningful connections. Over four days, participants will engage with a comprehensive scientific programme that spans the full spectrum of hepatology, featuring a variety of session formats designed to suit different interests and professional needs.

European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL)

The EASL School of Hepatology, focusing on Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), will offer deep insights into the pathogenetic mechanisms of PSC, discuss challenges in clinical management, and explore emerging therapeutic concepts. This event, featuring leading experts and interactive sessions, aims to enhance participants’ understanding of liver pathology in PSC and provide practical clinical knowledge through live demonstrations, breakout sessions, and case discussions.

Immune mediated and cholestatic diseases

European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL)

The need to understand basic epidemiological concepts cannot be overstated for researchers wanting to make a career in any medical field, including hepatology. This course will give an overview of common and cutting-edge methodologies in clinical epidemiology that will be highly useful for clinicians wanting to develop their capacity to read, interpret, and understand limitations of clinical studies in medical journals. Instead of presenting a clinical case, the course will focus on practical skills needed to understand or design clinical studies and to be able to spot flaws and limitations in their own and other’s research work. In essence, this course will improve the knowledge of applied clinical study design and methodology for the next generation of clinicians and clinical researchers in hepatology.

Artificial intelligence is sweeping all over medicine. But where is it useful, and where should clinicians be cautious? How can we shape the path towards equitable and explainable algorithms while mitigating biases and vulnerabilities for hepatology? In this interdisciplinary EASL school, you will learn key aspects of clinical artificial intelligence, all the way from understanding other people’s publications and claims towards your own kick-off for AI-enhanced research and clinical practice.
