The objective of the workshop is to establish a robust and open international network of researchers dedicated to the study of motility and transport phenomena within the gastrointestinal tract. This interdisciplinary event will bring together experts in fields such as mechanistic modeling of transport, quantification techniques for gut motility, and applications related to GI tract function. By fostering collaboration among researchers with diverse expertise—ranging from digestion of foods and microbiology to medical imaging, complex fluid mechanics, biomechanics, and biophysics—we aim to address critical gaps and drive future advancements in the field.
