EPC Committees

The EPC Committees were set up in early 2024 to support the EPC leadership and also give EPC members an opportunity to get more involved in the work of the society.

There are currently four committees: Education, Research, Guidelines / Quality of Care, and Public Affairs.

Select Council members sit on each committee and are responsible for overseeing Committee activities and reporting back to the EPC Executive Committee and other EPC Council members.

The Education Committee looks after the EPC Educational Website (EPC Pancreas Academy), reviews requests for the endorsement of meetings and events, develops and implements webinars, coordinates educational activities with other societies, and liaises with sponsors interested in education, among other tasks.
