Call for Study Proposals

ENETS invites investigators from participating European centres to submit study proposals using the ENETS NET Database.

We welcome collaborative research that addresses clinically relevant and scientific questions in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) and generates high-quality evidence.

Proposals may be submitted for:

Level I studies

Research projects using the minimal dataset.

Level II studies

Research projects using the extended dataset.

Level III studies

Research projects requiring specialised datasets beyond the regular Level I/II database structure.

Authorship and publication principles

Studies using the ENETS NET Database follow transparent and fair authorship and publication principles:

  • Authorship is based on meaningful scientific contribution, including data provision and study involvement.
  • Publication models are defined for each study and communicated in advance.
  • ENETS publication rules apply to all participating centres.

Detailed requirements are set out in the ENETS DB Publication Rules.
