What do we expect from you?

All members are encouraged to actively participate in the educational and research projects of BIRD.

BIRD values its members presence at meetings and during its conferences. However, with BIRD we have the ambition to be an active organization promoting research and education on IBD but also interacting with all stakeholders in the field (patient organizations, companies, BINAstoria and government and health authorities). We need your help to continue our broad array of activities.

Therefore, we would like to ask for a small contribution from you to make this happen.

If you apply to become a member, may we please ask you to indicate for which tasks or subjects you are willing to cooperate, based on your experience and interests. In this way, we can divide the work and we will only contact you for a task or topic that you are interested in.

This is also a huge opportunity to increase your visibility and help the IBD patient on a national level.
