ENDO 2024 grants will be awarded to authors of the top-ranked abstracts. The aim is to facilitate the participation of young endoscopists in the congress in Seoul. In addition to providing a wealth of knowledge, ENDO 2024 will present the opportunity for the younger generation to meet and form alliances with like-minded colleagues from around the world.
Several grants are being awarded at ENDO 2024 by WEO and collaborating scientific partners: the Asian-Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy (A-PSDE), Chinese Society of Digestive Endoscopology (CSDE) and Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES).

All abstracts will be evaluated by the ENDO 2024 Abstract Reviewing Committee and the top abstracts that meet the eligibility criteria will be reviewed by WEO, A-PSDE, and JGES to select the grant winners.
