Information about the Congress:
The city Barcelona
In 2026, the UEGW will take place in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia. The city is Mediterranean, cosmopolitan, and full of contrasts. You can discover Roman remains, medieval quarters, and striking examples of 20th-century Modernism and Avant-Garde. World-famous architects like Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Doménech shaped Barcelona with iconic buildings, many of them UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Barcelona is also a city of music, joy, and living traditions. Festivities such as La Mercè and the neighborhood celebrations in Gràcia, Sants, and Poblenou bring locals and visitors together.
In addition, the city is known for its imaginative gastronomy. Its cuisine blends tradition and modernity with fresh garden produce, fish, sausages, olive oil, handmade pastries, and sparkling wines. Everywhere you walk, you will find new surprises—whether in pedestrian areas, green spaces, or along the vibrant seafront. Barcelona has managed to embrace its past while remaining committed to the future. Today, it offers modern infrastructures that make it a top choice for international congresses and seminars.
We work closely with our hotel partners worldwide and create suitable offers for groups of 20 or more. Furthermore, we provide all other ground handling services to ensure your participation at the UEGW 2026 runs smoothly. Please send your request to congress@mr-congress.com
Overview of the event
The UEG improves the prevention and care of digestive diseases in Europe through providing top tier education, supporting research and advancing clinical standards. The United European Gastroenterology Week will take place in Barcelona, Spain between 17 – 20 October 2026.
It is one of the most important congress events in the field of gastroenterology & hepatology. Specifically, it is about experts from various disciplines of the digestive tract – such as endoscopy, liver diseases, gastrointestinal infections, basic research, and clinical practice – meeting to present new research results, exchange ideas, and offer further education (e.g., postgraduate teaching).
