Support is provided at various stages of the process, including advice on patient-oriented research, support for research projects, peer review, and letters of support.
Early-career researchers are highlighted through various communication and outreach initiatives, particularly on our platforms and networks, where their projects, achievements, and career paths are shared. Scientific conferences, networking events, and other opportunities also help raise awareness of these contributions.
Activities are offered to foster learning, reflection, and connections. The Cafés and Meet & Greets create special spaces for networking and informal exchanges between early-career researchers and experts from diverse backgrounds—such as researchers and patient partners—around themes chosen based on their needs and interests. These events encourage the sharing of perspectives, the development of networks, and the strengthening of a committed and collaborative community.
