The congress still retains its original values, it remains a welcoming and friendly environment for the sharing of knowledge and the fostering of relationships for future collaborative work.

ESPGHAN place great emphasis on the importance of young researchers and clinicians and the congress embraces new talent, giving opportunities to network, learn and further their work wherever possible.
