The 57th Meeting of the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany, from July 2nd to 5th, 2025. Organized in collaboration with esteemed colleagues from the Korean Pancreatobiliary Association (KPBA), this event will adhere to the EPC tradition by focusing on basic, translational, and clinical aspects of pancreatology. The primary emphasis will be on new and emerging methods for diagnosing and treating pancreatic diseases.

Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia—the most populous state in Germany—is a prominent hub for the Asian community in Europe. Known for its international character, the city offers excellent train and flight connections to European capitals and, through the high-speed train link to Frankfurt International Airport, to destinations worldwide. The University Hospital of Düsseldorf, one of the region's largest medical institutions, is at the forefront of medical research across a wide range of specialties.

The EPC 2025 will serve as a platform for professionals from diverse scientific and clinical disciplines related to pancreatic diseases to exchange ideas, discuss ongoing projects, and establish new collaborations. The meeting also provides an opportunity to explore Düsseldorf's vibrant and multicultural atmosphere, its remarkable modern art scene, and the picturesque Rhine Promenade.

This gathering promises to be both scientifically enriching and culturally inspiring, highlighting the intersection of cutting-edge research and the dynamic spirit of Düsseldorf.
