»The Falk Foundation enjoys a long tradition of promoting independent continuing scientific education in gastroenterology and hepatology. As a scientific convener of numerous national and international symposia, I especially appreciate that it does not exert any influence on the program, selection of speakers, and organizers, enabling fully independent continuing scientific medical education.«

»I gave my first international talk at an international Falk symposium. The Falk Foundation has bolstered the careers of numerous young scientists by providing them a platform alongside their more experienced colleagues. When preparing symposia and talks, we were always motivated by the Falk Foundation’s mission to deliver the most up-to-date information from clinical and basic research in a clear and evidence-based manner relevant to daily practice.«
