We're excited to announce that ENDO 2024, the 4th World Congress of GI Endoscopy, and IDEN 2024 will be held together in Seoul, Korea, as a global congress whose reach extends beyond Asia to the rest of the world. In collaboration with the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE), we are inviting young endoscopists worldwide to apply for the International Young Endoscopist Award (IYEA) 2024 program that will run from June 24 to July 6, 2024.
The program, running since 2014, aims to advance technical skills and foster collaboration among young endoscopists. With 358 participants from 37 countries, it has had a substantial impact. We encourage all young endoscopists to seize this opportunity and apply for this enriching program. The awards include clinical training, attendance at ENDO/IDEN 2024, and travel and accommodation expenses.
This year, with the convergence of ENDO 2024 and IDEN 2024, we anticipate a truly global gathering.
