Over the past 50 years it has grown into a major European medical association with significant international representation and global influence. EASL has approximately 7,000 members from all continents, and the annual meeting is now the major international scientific event for liver diseases with more than 9,000 participants. EASL’s core mission is the promotion of research and education concerning the liver and liver diseases. EASL runs a comprehensive portfolio of conferences, schools, and related educational meetings.
