ESCMID Global Event

TAE Day 2026

A revised and exciting programme awaits on Saturday, 18 April!

TAE Day is organised every year at ESCMID Global by the Trainee Association of ESCMID (TAE). This session targets CM and ID trainees to take part in round table-type sessions, where they have the chance to informally interact with renowned experts in the field of CM and ID. This way, they can get inspiration from the experts, discuss the main challenges and decisions during clinical and/or research careers, get career advice, learn about career/research opportunities and strengthen their network.

Registration

This year, TAE Day introduces a simple registration with a refundable credit-card hold of 50 EUR. The event remains completely free - the full amount will be released and refunded to all participants who attend. Please note that participants who register but do not attend will be charged the registration fee. This step helps us ensure that places remain available for those who truly wish to join, allowing more trainees to enjoy the highly interactive afternoon sessions, the networking coffee, and the many opportunities to connect, all while preserving the signature round tables with renowned experts in an informal yet enriching setting.

Sign up to the mailing list now to be informed once the registration is officially open!

Please note that you will receive an email from ESCMID asking you to confirm your newsletter registration. Your registration will only be active after your confirmation.
