These are very exciting times for the field of hepatology and EASL. Our association was founded 50 years ago as a society to promote and exchange science in the field of liver diseases.

Still today, this remains the most important task to EASL. We are happy to witness the exciting data presented at The International Liver Congress(ILC) our annual congress, and published in our Journal, the Journal of Hepatology, which can today be regarded as one of the two premier Journals in the field of liver disease.
