NextGEN ENETS

Whether you are in training, an intermediate or a newly-qualified specialist, ENETS offers its younger members numerous opportunities (educational courses, mentor programmes, and workshops) to refine your skills and gain access to the latest developments.

In 2019, ENETS established a multi-disciplinary forum designed to bring together the next generation of ENETS members. The forum provides a platform, which fosters communication, gathers ideas, and allows NextGEN ENETS members to take an active role in our NET Society.

Alongside the already existing EEAF, NextGEN ENETS is designed to stimulate development in four key areas:

  • High-quality education and further learning development opportunities in NET
  • A focus on scientific methods, research and scientific publications
  • Leadership and intercultural skills
  • Access to an extensive network of other junior doctors from all around Europe as well as leading NET specialists as lecturers and mentors.

History of NextGEN ENETS – vision and aims.

The NextGEN ENETS initiative provides the opportunity to young PhD students, postdocs, and physicians in training or at the start of their career to strengthen their knowledge, skills and expertise in the field of NET. The programme also provides the platform for the next generation of NET specialists to meet, network, and gain practical experience in preparing and presenting their research projects.

NextGEN ENETS Workshop

ENETS has hosted a NextGEN ENETS Scientific Workshop in 2022 and 2023. This workshop is designed to enable young PhD students, postdocs, and physicians in training (both clinicians and researchers) or at the start of their career to gain experience in preparing and orally presenting a scientific research project in front of an expert panel.

This workshop provides the perfect setting for early-career scientists to discuss and present their research in English and respond to questions to a panel of internationally renowned NET experts. Furthermore, workshop participants will be trained or instructed by a designated person with exceptional skills in presentation techniques, who will provide personal feedback after each presentation.

We will update the website with details about the new NextGEN ENETS opportunities in due course.
