One of the IDDF’s goals is to help young investigators publicize their research findings in an international setting. We welcome and recognize your research based on its scientific quality. Our international scientific committee of distinguished gastroenterologists and hepatologists carefully evaluates all submitted abstracts and selects up to 20 abstracts that demonstrate the highest quality research. These abstract authors will be invited to give a webcast presentation at the IDDF, and each of them will be presented with a Certificate of Merit. The best three of the presented abstracts will be recognized with the prestigious Gut-IDDF Young Investigator Award, the IDDF’s highest form of recognition for outstanding research.
