Abstract

Social networks are useful in the study of relationships between individuals or entire populations, and the ties through which any given social unit connects. Those represent the convergence of the various social contacts of that unit. Consequently, the term "social networking service" (SNS) became extremely familiar. Similar to familiar SNSs, International Digestive Endoscopy Network (IDEN) 2014 was based on an international network composed of an impressive 2-day scientific program dealing with a variety of topics for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, which connects physicians and researchers from all over the world. The scientific programs included live endoscopic demonstrations and provided cutting-edge information and practice tips as well as the latest advances concerning upper GI, lower GI, and pancreatobiliary endoscopy. IDEN 2014 featured American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy-Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE-KSGE)-joint sessions prepared through cooperation between ASGE and KSGE. Furthermore, IDEN 2014 provided a special program for young scientists called the 'Asian Young Endoscopist Award Forum' to foster networks, with many young endoscopists from Asian countries taking an active interest and participation.

  Fig. 1 Network, a core keyword for advancement. In basic science, network research has emerged as an essential component of systems biology. (A) For example, network result was drawn from label free quantification study to pull out core pathogenic explanation of radiation-induced enteropathy. (B) International Digestive Endoscopy Network 2014 also sought to tighten international network in gastrointestinal endoscopy.

The AYEA forum was excellently organized by Professor Jong Ho Moon (circled, Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital, Director of Liaison Committee, The Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) and successfully executed during International Digestive Endoscopy Network 2014.
