Research Prize

United European Gastroenterology

In 2026, UEG will award € 50,000 for excellence in basic science, translational or clinical research.

With this prize we support a future scientific research project from early stage to successful conclusion. The prize addresses active, established senior researchers whose science will have a crucial impact on digestive health.

Application for the Research Prize 2026 is open until March 3, 2026.

Target group

The UEG Research Prize is aimed at active, established senior researchers whose scientific work makes a crucial contribution to digestive health and whose proposed study will significantly advance their career.

Please note:

Departments that have received a UEG Research Prize in the past five years (2021–2025) are not eligible.
The prize may be awarded to the same recipient only once.
The call is open to all UEG Associates, and we encourage applications from all fields of digestive health.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

Across UEG opportunities, successful applicants typically show:

✔ Solid scientific plan

Clear aims, rigorous methodology, feasible timeline and justified budget strengthen reviewer confidence (especially for fellowships and research prizes).

✔ Relevance to digestive health

Projects that address high-impact unmet needs (e.g., IBD, liver disease, GI cancer, functional disorders) resonate with reviewers.

✔ International engagement & network

Demonstrated collaborations or plans to work with European research groups benefit fellowship applications.

✔ Strong abstracts & presentations

High-quality UEG Week abstracts boost competitiveness for travel grants and recognition awards.

✔ Career stage alignment

Tailoring applications to the specific award’s eligibility window (e.g., early-career limits for fellowships; senior track for the Research Prize) is critical.

🛠 Practical Application Tips

✔ Join UEG and register as a myUEG Associate — required for most opportunities and useful for tailoring communications.
✔ Plan ahead for UEG Week — many awards tie to UEG Week abstracts and presentations, so prepare abstracts early.
✔ Craft concise research proposals with clear impact, innovation, and feasibility for research fellowship or prize applications.
✔ Highlight collaboration & mentorship — especially for fellowships or visiting opportunities.
✔ Use UEG templates and guidelines — always follow the specific application instructions and criteria.
