Educational activities

Monthly International Seminar Series on Liver Toxicity and Steatotic Liver Disease and different EASL studio topics for DHILI will be organised at a later stage.

As a proposal within our educational activities, we will be launching from January a series of talks on Liver Toxicity and Steatotic Liver Disease, ONCE monthly, given by international experts in the field. The session outline would be a talk of around 45 min with 15 min left for discussion. Conferences will be held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 16.30h (CET) starting from January 17^th 2024.

These international seminar series are the result of an outstanding collaboration between the EASL DHILI Consortium (https://easldhiliconsortium.eu/) and the Halt-RONIN (UKRI-Horizon Europe) https://halt-ronin.com/

The objectives are:

• to improve collaboration between different group experts encompassing clinical investigators, researchers, basic scientists, industry partners and regulators.
• To foster scientific progress by disseminating the latest breakthroughs in research on hepatotoxicity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
