School visit
The EASL team visited a school in Milan on 3 June with a host of local hepatologists. This initiative included teaching young pupils the value of keeping the liver healthy and how to do so. The team brought an ultrasound machine to demonstrate to the pupils where the liver is in the body and discussed how it functions. The pupils then had the opportunity to draw posters of the liver and ask the hepatology experts questions.

EASL has partnered with University of Padova and Project Third Mission to deliver interactive liver health seminars across Italy in the weeks leading up to the congress. These sessions will be similarly designed to that which is being delivered in Milan and will be held in the following schools and cities.
Palermo School: Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, Palermo
Rome School: Istituto Comprensivo Suor Celestina Donati
Padua School: Scuola secondaria di I grado Giovanni Pascoli
About Love Your Liver: Impact Projects
Value creation at EASL does not stop at its members, partners, and delegates. EASL is committed to providing a long lasting, positive impact on the lives of those who are connected to its events, as well as all the people living and working in the communities who host them.
Impact is not simply a word or an abstract concept at EASL. Impact is a tangible goal, an unceasing pursuit towards a better future for all Europeans.
Love Your Liver is designed to raise awareness for liver health, promote early detection and care, and build local professional capacities in the hepatology field.
This year, the EASL team, along with the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver, Fiera Milano, YesMilano, the University of Milan and the University of Padova, have joined forces to bring the famed EASL Love Your Liver impact projects to Milan. Over the last two years, EASL has visited two schools in two different cities and operated 3 different mobile screening clinics with great success. Going into EASL Congress 2024, EASL hopes to build on these experiences to expand the scope and impact of these two initiatives in June.
