Support international training on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to promote the global development of IBD patient care and research by ensuring that gastroenterology physicians and researchers living in developing nations can access start-of-the art advanced training and mentorships in IBD care.

The IOIBD Clinical Experience Exchange Program will be operational beginning in the second half of 2023 for the total sum of 120.000 EURO per year with the first two awardees beginning their mentorship experience in Spring 2023.
We aim to select two grantees per year for the next three years with the program running in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The expected total stay will be 1 year.
