Dear Colleague,
As 2017 comes to an end, our thoughts turn gratefully to all who have made EASL’s progress possible throughout the year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement. Together, we have achieved many great things in the field of Hepatology.
Sharing EASL knowledge.

Together, we have organized and supported events around the world: The International Liver CongressTM, 1 NAFLD summit, 1 HCC summit, 1 EASL Monothematic Conference, 1 EASL-AASLD Masterclass, 2 EASL Schools,1 co-organised EASL-AASLD meeting, and 18 endorsed/sponsored events.

This year, on February 4th, World Cancer Day took place at the same time as the EASL HCC summit. To celebrate this occasion, EASL joined forces with the UICC (Union for International Cancer Control) to raise awareness. We created a liver cancer dedicated campaign; hundreds of you joined the cause by sending us pictures and spreading the word to raise awareness about HCC. We deeply thank you for your support and engagement.

|
We have also shared the latest research, developments, and expertise through our publications: 12 issues of The Journal of Hepatology, 1 supplement, 11 snapshots and
4 Clinical Practice Guidelines. The journal was cited over 30,000 times in 2016, making it the fifth most highly cited journal in the field of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Over the festive period, continue to learn using EASL desktop and mobile apps: LiverTreeTM our online educational platform provides open access materials viewable by all while the free iLiver app can be used at patient bedside and provides clinical recommendations on 26 different areas of liver disease.
Why not test the free HCV Advisor app based on the trusted EASL recommendations for treatment of Hepatitis C. Simply enter the patient and virus information and the appropriate treatment options are instantly made available.

Young investigators - the future of Hepatology lies in your hands!
At EASL, we think about the future. To help you on your career path and broaden your skills and knowledge we allocated EASL bursaries throughout the year allowing you to attend our meetings! We also enhanced our YI programmes and offered: three mentorship programmes and 4 upgraded fellowship programmes allowing you to benefit from better funding and longer training periods. We also continue to offer Registry Grant funding up to €150,000 to support one or more consortia groups for gathering liver disease data.
  
Help us to drive science forward. Be a part of the future.
Renew your EASL membership and join our Community.
We look forward to continuing our efforts in the new year and will provide you with latest research developments by inspiring the hepatology community at
The International Liver CongressTM 2018!
From Geneva to Europe and beyond, the Home of Hepatology wishes you all safe and happy holidays.
Best Wishes and Happy New Year!
Together, we can beat liver disease
