NextGEN ENETS Scientific Workshop 2025

The NextGEN ENETS Scientific Workshop 2025 supports early-career scientists and clinicians, including PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and trainee physicians. It offers a valuable opportunity to develop skills in preparing and delivering oral scientific presentations before a panel of internationally renowned NET experts.

Participants will present and discuss their research in English, respond to questions from experts, and receive personalised feedback on their presentation techniques from a designated mentor. Additionally, an editor from The Journal of Neuroendocrinology, ENETS’ official journal, will share insights from an editorial perspective on manuscript submissions. There will also be a dedicated discussion on the dos and don’ts of writing scientific manuscripts.

Prospective attendees must apply for a grant, which will be awarded based on scientific merit following evaluation by an independent Scientific Committee. Applicants must submit preliminary results from their ongoing scientific projects—project proposals alone will not be accepted. ENETS warmly encourages applications from all enthusiastic, next-generation scientists/clinicians dedicated to NET research.
