One of the aims of the Young Talent Group (YTG) is to make United European Gastroenterology (UEG) more attractive for young fellows interested in gastroenterology, and to involve them actively in UEG activities, by collaborating with young GI sections (YGIS) across Europe. Therefore, the YTG launched a survey to collect up-to-date information on YGISs belonging to UEG National Societies. The Friends of YTG were chosen as the target population and received a web-based questionnaire concerning their personal information, the structure of YGIS in their respective country, the YGIS' support mechanisms for young trainees, and ideas on how to improve them. Overall, 24 of 29 Friends answered the survey (83%). Among the Societies surveyed, only half have a young section. Typically, YGIS are supported, but not influenced, by National Societies through several initiatives. Results of the survey suggest that a lack of funding, of harmonised education, and of active roles available within National Societies, were the concerns most prevalent among young fellows. Our survey shows that the development of YGIS is being hindered by organisational, financial, and political issues. The YTG believes that a close collaboration between National Societies, UEG, and the YTG is necessary in order to offer young fellows the most productive and professionally satisfying future possible.
青年人才小组（YTG）的目标之一是，通过与欧洲各地的青年胃肠病学分会（YGIS）合作，使欧洲胃肠病学联合会（UEG）对有志于胃肠病学的青年学员更具吸引力，并让他们积极参与UEG的活动。因此，YTG开展了一项调查，以收集有关隶属于UEG国家学会的YGIS的最新信息。YTG之友被选为目标人群，并收到了一份基于网络的问卷，内容涉及他们的个人信息、各自国家YGIS的结构、YGIS对青年学员的支持机制，以及关于如何改进这些机制的想法。总体而言，29位YTG之友中有24位回答了调查（83%）。在接受调查的学会中，只有一半设有青年分会。通常，国家学会通过多项举措对YGIS提供支持，但不加以干涉。调查结果表明，资金短缺、教育缺乏协调性以及在国家学会中缺乏活跃的角色，是青年学员中最普遍存在的担忧。我们的调查显示，YGIS的发展受到组织、财务和政治问题的阻碍。YTG认为，国家学会、UEG和YTG之间密切合作是必要的，以便为青年学员提供尽可能最有成效且职业满意度最高的未来。
