Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and of the EGEUS Board, we are sad to announce that the EGEUS Congress that should have taken place this November in Cluj-Napoca has to be postponed for next year, due to the COVID pandemic and the enforced laws.

The new period is June 2-3, 2022 and the event is set to take place in the same location – Grand Hotel Napoca, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

The 9th EGEUS Congress will approach all the hot topics and will provide cutting edge information about the latest practices and ongoing research in EUS.

Due to the current pandemic situation, the meeting will have the format of a hybrid event with limited on spot participation.

The hybrid event developed for this meeting, will show features of a real onsite meeting/course with participants remotely connected to attend real time live demonstrations, lectures, debates, and video presentations. Formats are intended to offer all opportunities for interaction allowing attendees to interact by asking questions to the speakers, participate in the discussion, all this with speakers, faculty members and attendees remotely connected from any location worldwide.

This congress will be organized under the auspices of the European Group for Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EGEUS) in collaboration with the Romanian Society of Gastroenterology (SRGH), the Romanian Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SRED) and the Romanian Working Group of Endoscopic Ultrasonography (GREUS).
