Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 25th European Bridging Meeting in Gastroenterology, which will be held on November 27–29, 2025, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel.

This prestigious event is organized with the support of the European Society for Gastroenterology, Endoscopy and Nutrition (EAGEN), the European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG), and the Romanian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

The European Bridging Meeting has a proud tradition of fostering collaboration and professional growth among young gastroenterologists and their mentors.

The Bridging Meeting program spans two days of interactive learning.
– On Day 1, young fellows present their original research and receive valuable feedback and guidance from senior faculty in an open, collegial setting.
– On Day 2, participants are invited to attend the EAGEN Postgraduate Course, featuring state-of-the-art lectures and interactive sessions led by renowned international experts, offering the latest clinical and scientific updates in the field of gastroenterology.

The core mission of the Bridging Meeting is to build strong academic and professional bridges across Europe, particularly between Central-Eastern and Western regions. By promoting shared standards and dialogue, we aim to support excellence in patient care and harmonization of diagnostic and therapeutic practices across borders.

We warmly welcome you to join us in Cluj-Napoca for a rewarding scientific experience and enriching professional exchange. We are confident that this event will be both educational and inspiring, and we look forward to your active participation.
