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.
