Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to welcome you to the third edition of IBS Days 2020.
With this meeting, we would like to provide current views and a look to the future on the rapidly advancing field of IBS. We have prepared an exciting programme including Rome IV criteria, epidemiology, the role of genetic factors, diet, microbiota, inflammation and infection, diagnosis and biomarkers, as well as current and future therapeutic approaches. The format is based on State of the Art Lectures and Hot off the press papers based on original data. These lectures will be presented by a distinguished Faculty together with the contribution of young investigators. We hope that the meeting will promote friendship, exchange of ideas, opinions, discussion of cases and development of research projects that would ultimately make advance the field and improve the management of our patients.
I hope you will enjoy the scientific programme, the medieval atmosphere of the city with its ancient University (A.D. 1088), as well as the renowned Bologna cuisine.
