RESEARCH SESSIONS – GET INVOLVED!
We are pleased to announce a wide range of research activities at the Thessaloniki Conference, with three sessions in the agenda and more opportunities than ever to get involved.
Our international network of active researchers is one of the key attributes of ESCP. As such, we invite members to submit ideas or expressions of interest to present in their work in the sessions specified below.
International Trials Results Session (Wednesday 25 September 2024).
In this headline plenary session we will present and discuss breaking results of major multicentre trials which will impact colorectal surgery on an international level.
If you are involved in a trial which will be completed, analysed and ready to present its full results in September, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Research Committee will review all submissions and pick the best 4-5 for presentation and expert critique/audience discussion during the session.

Research Ideas Workshop (Friday 27 September 2024).
This is a completely new session for Thessaloniki. ESCP members have often asked for an informal opportunity to discuss a fledgling research idea and obtain advice on how to convert it into a successful study or trial. This may include guidance and input into research design, methodology, outcome measures, deliverability or routes to multicentre engagement.
We have assembled a team of experienced surgical trialists, methodologists and patient representatives to provide friendly input and counsel during this relaxed session.
If you have an idea for a project, no matter how early in its development, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

The session will be open to the wider Conference audience if they want to observe, but presented in a ‘round table’ format, without slides.
