Mentor–Mentee Collaboration Leads to International Publication

We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding collaboration between Rosa Geurtzen and Bernard Barzilay through the ESPR Early Career Investigator Mentoring Programme (ECIMP). Their inspiring mentor–mentee partnership has culminated in the publication of an important new paper exploring global perspectives on decision-making and practice variation in the care of extremely preterm infants.

Their article, "Are guidelines needed? International perspectives on decision-making and practice variation in the care of extremely preterm infants" has been published in the Journal of Perinatology.

This achievement highlights the strength of international collaboration within ECIMP and showcases how mentorship can foster impactful research that advances neonatal care worldwide. Congratulations to Rosa and Bernard on this remarkable accomplishment!
