Europeon Network of Young Gynaecologist Oncologists
How ESGO Shows Its Support
ESGO supports young oncologists in their careers by promoting educational activities for them that focus on practical aspects, research experiences and laboratory skills. By organising junior activities at its biennial congresses, for example, ESGO provides them with the opportunity to disseminate information in their home countries.
For this reason, ESGO decided to include a junior member on its executive council to represent young oncologists and express their needs. Dr. Boris Vranes is the current representative. During the ESGO16, 2009 congress, different junior activities were organised.
To be included in the juniors club and its activities, please contact Dr. Boris Vranes:
