Establishing Youngsters Committee
The Youngsters Committee of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) was established in 2012 and formalised in 2018. This committee aims to provide a platform for networking, interaction, and collaboration among young scientists and clinicians with a special interest in neuro-oncology. It organizes various activities, including educational programmes and mentoring sessions, to enhance the involvement of young members within the EANO.
EANO recognizes that the future of the society lies with the next generation. Therefore, EANO is focusing on the provision of career opportunities, training, and mentoring of young society members. Together with the Youngsters Committee, the EANO leadership has developed initiatives such as Youngsters Journal Club, networking events, mentorship programmes, dedicated sessions and workshops at the annual conference. In recent years, EANO has succeeded in building an active and vibrant community of early-career investigators from various specialties and professions.
