The ESPR Sections

As a part of the ESPR Council, the sections represent different Paediatric sub-specialties.

Headed by dedicated and elected section chairs, it is the sections' role:

• to provide speakers/topics for ESPR conferences;
• to publish research and guidelines related to their expertise;
• to act as a discussion forum and incubator of ideas/initiatives for like-minded Paediatric professionals;
• to develop content and lecture in the context of the European School of Neonatology (ESN) and the Neonatal Online Training and Education Programme (NOTE);
• to organise annual gatherings at the ESPR congresses;
• to mentor early career investigators.
