Volume 89 - 2026 - Fasc.1 - Editorial
Essential reading from the editorial board
We are delighted to present you with a brand new
issue of Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica. In this
edition you will not only find our usual offering of
high-quality original manuscripts, reviews and case
reports. The first issue of each year traditionally also
includes all abstracts accepted for the Belgian Week of
Gastroenterology (February 11th-13th 2026, Antwerp,
Belgium). This rich collection is well worth browsing
through, as it paints an impressive picture of the wide
range of basic and clinical research that was (and is)
performed in Belgium, in all fields of gastroenterology
and hepatology. Including this catalogue in Acta
is the result of a longstanding, logical and fruitful
collaboration between Acta Gastro-Enterologica
Belgica and the Belgian Week of Gastroenterology, as
both organisations have always provided a platform
for national research achievements and will continue
to do so in the years to come.
