The Global REACH of ECCO
The ECCO Governing Board is pleased to announce our new strategy REACH, launched at ECCO’24 in Stockholm, by ECCO President Britta Siegmund.
The REACH strategy is an acronym of five clear goals to shape all current and future ECCO Activities for the next five years, better defining and expanding our mission to improve care for all our patients.
Each year we will focus on one particular goal, starting in 2024 with Equity – expanding the outreach and inclusivity of ECCO Initiatives to nascent IBD centres across the globe. From the Global Friends of ECCO Network to new investments and instruments for international research and collaboration, look out for our new Consensus paper on IBD in Low- and Middle-Income countries and the Global Grant Call of 2024.
In 2025, we shall focus on Attain Sustainability, working towards sustainable delivery of care: prevention, optimal treatment and efficient use of resources. We kick-off at ECCO’25 with the Congress Theme of “Sustainability in IBD”.
Let’s REACH together...
Thank you for stopping by!

The Reviewers of ECCO - we treasure you
ECCO treasures its strong Reviewer community of more than 500 experts, who provide each year an invaluable scientific service to the ECCO Family and the broader field of IBD by peer reviewing:
- JCC articles on a continuous basis
- ECCO Fellowships and Grants applications during the summer months
- ECCO Congress Abstracts in the days immediately following the congress abstract deadline in November.
The Reviewers of the Journal of Crohn’s and Colitis (JCC)
Especially for experts in earlier career phases, your readiness to join the Reviewer community offers a great potential for stepping up onto the main stage of scientific debate.
Y-ECCO Members are strongly encouraged to sign up for JCC reviewing tasks by setting up an account on the JCC Online platform: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ecco-jcc (external link) and then reach out to the editorial office - JCC Editorial Office This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. – with a short note about your interest to get involved as a JCC Reviewer.
The JCC Online platform is also connected to the Web of Science and the Web of Science Academy https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/solutions/web-of-science-academy/ (external link), which offers great educational resources.
Moreover, you can gather, track and choose to publicly present your review work via your Web of Science profile.
The Reviewers of ECCO Congress Abstracts, Fellowships and Grants
The group of ECCO Reviewers is naturally growing as new ECCO Committee Members also join forces on the peer reviewing tasks as part of the Committee responsibilities.
Moreover, within the family spirit, ECCO also counts on the target groups benefiting from the efforts of their expert colleagues: Fellowship and Grant awardees, Congress presenters and JCC authors are also foreseen to join efforts in future peer reviewing tasks.
In line with a general trend in the scientific world, the personal peer reviewing track record will also become a weighing criterion in application processes where candidate rankings are very close.
E-QUALITY TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ECCO MEMBERS NOT USING UR-CARE
E-QUALITY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BY AND BETWEEN:
ECCO as initiator of the project (with IBDIM as research unit of ECCO being contracted as IT service provider/supplier due to established UR-CARE platform), having its place of business at Ungargasse 6/13, 1030 Vienna, Austria, Austrian Association Registry Nr. 468755685, hereinafter referred to as “ECCO“
AND
the undersigning Individual Participant Centre, who is bound by the electronic confirmation of these terms and conditions by its representative confirming the set-up of this account hereinafter referred to as “Individual Participant Centre”
both hereinafter, jointly or individually, referred to as “Parties” or “Party”
relating to the Project entitled: E-QUALITY
Point 1: Purpose
The purpose of the E-QUALITY project is to identify gaps between quality standards as defined by ECCO and current practice in daily clinical care by asking Individual Participant Center to answer questions and to provide statistical data to enable ECCO to conduct statistical analyses.
The E-QUALITY project will be structured in two or more phases. In the first phase, the Individual Participant Center will be asked by ECCO to answer questions on the structure of the Individual Participant Center itself. In the second phase, the Individual Participant Center will be aksed by Ecco to answer questions on patient care and to provide anonymous statistical institutional data on patient care.
The answers and anonymous statistical institutional data in the project phases will be entered by Individual Participant Centres into a secure digital platform offered by a qualified e-Health IT company, contracted by IBDIM in it’s role as IT-Provider and Sub-Processor of IBDIM.
Point 2: Preliminary Conditions for the E-QUALITY Account
Any member or employee of the Individual Participant Centre, who is also an ECCO Member, can request an E-QUALITY Account.
By requesting an E-QUALITY Account, the Individual Participant Centre agrees with these terms and conditions based on their careful review.
On behalf of the Individual Participant Centre the System administrator can introduce / nominate other team members to have access to the platform.
• The E-QUALITY User has access to the platform in compliance with all confidentiality regulations.
• User data which is part of the individual user profile used to create an access to the E-QUALITY account includes name, email address, institute and institute address of the E-QUALITY Account User. The personal data is needed for the management and fulfilment of the contractual relationship between the registered user and ECCO.
Each Party keeps its contact details on the E-QUALITY platform up-to-date, including all user profiles.
The user can exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, limitation of processing, portability and revocation of consent in relation to the personal data obtained from the broader UR-CARE platform by contacting ECCO.
Point 3: Institutional Data shared with E-QUALITY Project
ECCO is conducting a long-term project to identify the gaps between the quality standard of care proposed in our recent position paper and the actual situation in different countries affiliated to ECCO.
It is a principle of sovereign decision that an Individual Participant Centre can choose in which project and project phase it would like to participate.
A E-QUALITY Individual Participant Centre will not be able to see the institutional data of another E-QUALITY Individual Participant Centre – except aggregated statistical reports.
3.1. Data entry
In the course of the project, participant centres will be invited to share their institutional data in reply to specific survey questions on the management of IBD (structure, processes, outcome measures as listed in the ECCO Quality of Care Position Statement)
a) Stucture : institutional survey answers
b) Processes and outcome: statistical answers on domains of investigation
The current project will be an umbrella of statistical data collection rounds aimed to investigate particular aspects of some general domains. These domains will be:
• Diagnostics and Monitoring of IBD
• Assessment and Treatment of IBD
• Nutrition and Surgery in IBD
3.2. Controllership of data submitted to the project
By submitting answers to the E-QUALITY quality, the Individual Participant Centre gives permission that these answers can be assessed, analysed, summarised and published in the framework of the project.
a) Structure : institutional survey answers → the Individual Participant Centre will be acknowledged in the respective website report and in the appendix of the publication.
b) Processes and outcome: statistical answers on domains of investigation → Any acknowledgement in addition to the respective website report and in the appendix of the publication will be announced in the respective invitation for respective statistical questionnaire.
3.3. Compliance (for data transfer, collection and management)
Data entry of institutional data and institutional statistical answers for the E-QUALITY Project is based on the agreement to these terms and conditions in the set-up process of the project account on behalf of the institute.
Each Party shall ensure that its participation in the E-QUALITY complies fully with all applicable local, national and international laws, regulations and guidelines. In particular, the Individual Participant Centre will provide only fully anonymized patient care data and will take care that any patient care data uploaded to the digital platform does not contain any personal or personal identifiable patient data.
In the event that any part of these terms and conditions is determined to violate applicable laws and regulations, ECCO will aim to update these terms to bring them entirely into compliance.
3.4. System ownership
The Sub-processor of IBDIM providing the digital platform is the owner of the ClinicaaL® system and of all the system modules, applications, platforms and database structures, and this is expressly recognized by the Individual Participant Centre.
Point 4: Interactions with Industry
ECCO reserves the right to ask its Corporate Partners for project funding via unrestricted grants – which do secure scientific independence and no request for content of involvement beyond a preview of preliminary reports, which are scheduled for publication.
Point 5: Financial provisions
ECCO is funding the project and the institutional accounts are offered for free.
In turn, no financial obligations of ECCO to E-QUALITY Individual Participant Centre will be established in return for E-QUALITY project participation.

ECCO Quality of Care Project: E-QUALITY
The E-QUALITY project is a new initiative of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation to ultimately improve the quality of care of patients living with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). With this project, ECCO goes back to its historic mission: To improve the care of all patients with IBD in all its aspects through international guidelines for practice, education, research and collaboration in the area of IBD.
Two major steps:
1) Current practice vs. ECCO Recommendations: Identifying the gaps
First step - ECCO will focus on identifying the gaps between the quality of standards as defined by ECCO Statements, and the current practice in daily clinical care. The results will be published in the Journal of Crohn’s and Colitis (JCC).
2) Fill the gaps
Second step - having identified the gaps, ECCO will aim at setting up educational tools and/or activities to fill them. This step will be planned further after the completion of the first step.
The overall estimated duration of the project is 3 to 5 years.
