During the school, lectures and presentations will be given by expert paediatric hepatologists from various European centres. To cover all important topics, other experts (pathologist, radiologist, paediatric surgeon) are also invited to give talks. The limited number of participants will give ample opportunities for discussion and networking between participants and faculty members.
