Welcome from ESGE president Mário Dinis-Ribeiro

It is an honour to serve as the ESGE President for 2019 – 2021! Together with the governing board, I hope to continue the success of ESGE as the leader in Europe in the field of endoscopy. Following the landmarks of my predecessors, our aim will be to continue to strengthen the society in synergy with our individual members, national societies and other societies in Europe and worldwide.

Our main goal will continue to be the high quality of endoscopy in Europe, through the development of guidelines, quality parameters, educational and research activities. Furthermore, we wish to be an open and robust society, and therefore, the recent programmes of e-learning and Webinars, the EYE group and, of course, the ESGE Days, are of paramount importance to build a platform that serves all of us as endoscopists towards an evidence-based patient care.

Of course, further developments in all these activities are expected and therefore I personally challenge all of you, our members and all national societies, to participate and engage in our projects. We need everyone in the profession to stand with us as we work daily on your behalf in ways seen and unseen. Please join or renew ESGE membership, urge your colleagues to become members and make our voice be heard.

I look forward to working with you and for you throughout my presidency and seeing you at ESGE Days 2020 in Dublin.

Mário Dinis-Ribeiro
