If you are a trainee or a young scientist in CM/ID, don’t miss the opportunity to join the TAE Virtual Round Tables on 10 November 2026 between 14:00 and 15:30 CET.
The Trainee Association of ESCMID (TAE) would like to invite you to the upcoming Virtual Round Tables, where you can meet experts in Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology on specialised topics.
This format offers young professionals a unique chance to get inspiration from experts who were once in the same position at the crossroads of their career path. It also offers young professionals the perfect opportunity to establish links and network with senior experts and professionals at the start of their career.
Young scientists will get the chance to discuss their work and goals directly with the experts. Specifically, 10 renowned experts with a variety of profiles will moderate discussions in breakout rooms, each with up to eight participants. Participants can apply to the expert of their choice or topic of interest.
