We are delighted to present to you the EFCCA PROJECTS DIGEST. This newsletter will include information regarding the 5 Horizon Europe projects, 2 Horizon 2020 projects, and other projects that EFCCA is presently engaged in. The PROJECTS DIGEST will be published every 2-3 months, and we trust it will serve as a valuable resource for delving deeper into our ongoing research initiatives.
We take great pleasure in informing you that EFCCA is one of the 12 partners coming from 9 countries of the consortium for the miGut-Health Project, which has been selected for European funding under the Horizon 2020 framework. This project will strive to empower people living with IBD by creating state-of-the-art strategies for early disease prediction, prevention, and health monitoring. This will be achieved through data-driven approaches, personalised preventive interventions (such as nutritional changes), and innovative eHealth solutions.
There is very little scientific evidence on patient preference targeted at the IBD patient community.
EFCCA organised the conference "IBD Dialogues: Building Generations" held on 22 February at the ECCO'24 Congress in Stockholm presenting the preliminary results of our study on people with IBD aged +60, which EFCCA carried out together with Leiden University Medical Center.

Survey about perceptions regarding the possibility of prediction and prevention of IBD.
We need to hear as many voices as possible, especially from first-degree relatives of people with IBD. You still have time to participate, encourage your relatives, and be part of IBD research!
We are happy to share with you a video made on the occasion of the Digestive Health Roundtable 2023, which took place on 15 October in Copenhagen (during the UEG Week).
Last days to participate in our survey People with IBD aged 60 and over!!
Our survey is about to come to an end. On 30 November, we will be closing the survey which aims to better understand the challenges faced by people with IBD in this age group as well as how it impacts on their quality of life.
