Grants & Best Abstract Awards

About

The purpose of the ENDO 2022 grants is to offer professional development opportunities to young endoscopists and facilitate a platform for the exchange of ideas. The way this is achieved is by waiving the registration fee and supporting with travel expenses to Kyoto, Japan. Additionally, the grant winners will be invited to present their abstracts in one of the ENDO 2022 sessions.

Making these grants possible are the World Endoscopy Organization (WEO), the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES), and the Asian-Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy (A-PSDE).

Prerequisites for all candidates:

  • Be the submitting author of an accepted ENDO 2022 abstract
  • Have availability and willingness to participate in the ENDO 2022 congress, taking place May 13-15, 2022 in Kyoto, Japan
