European Pancreatic Club (EPC)

Who We Are

The EPC was founded in 1965, with the aim of bringing together basic scientists and clinicians in an informal atmosphere to promote friendship and research collaboration. Since then, the EPC has grown to become a major professional platform with several hundred members that has supported and served pancreatologists in Europe and beyond for more than 50 years.

The EPC offers a number of projects and programs designed to increase knowledge of the pancreas. For example, the EPC hosts an annual scientific meeting each year, offers webinars, collaborates on guidelines and publications, and supports the popular post-graduate program Pancreas 2000.

If you haven't become a member yet, we encourage you to join and take advantage of all the benefits the EPC has to offer.
