The ESPR Sections
Representing Paediatric Sub-Specialties
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.
