The European Network of Gastrointestinal Pathology was established by members of the Working Group of Digestive Diseases of the European Society of Pathology (ESP) as a compliment to ESP activities. 

ENGIP endorses ESP membership which is only 40 Euros per year and gives a discount on registration fees for the annual congresses of the ESP. Further, ESP membership is free for residents for whom Bursaries are available for the European Congresses of Pathology. ESP membership includes a free online copy of the official Journal of the Society (Virchows Archiv) and gives to its members excellent professional and networking opportunities.
