SCIENTIFIC POSTERS

RESEARCH & INNOVATION FOR COELIAC DISEASE and gluten-free beer

The Association of European Coeliac Societies (AOECS) is involved in several international initiatives to raise awareness about coeliac disease, from different perspectives. 

AOECS is now for the fourth time calling for scientific papers on research and innovations concerning coeliac disease. Approved abstracts will be printed and presented as scientific posters at the AOECS Annual Conference in Brussels 17-18 October, 2025 and published in our scientific book.

Through this call, we aim to encourage research and promote the exchange of knowledge on topics such as the gluten-free diet, early diagnosis of coeliac disease, quality of life for patients, and potential cures.

If the author(s) wish to attend the AOECS Annual Conference in person (at their own cost), please contact us for more details.
