AEPC TEACHING COURSES FOR TRAINEES

AEPC 2026 mentorship sessions

Following an initial, informal trial at AEPC 2025 Hamburg, we are happy to announce that 2 Mentorship sessions have been included as part of the scientific programme during AEPC 2026 Padua!

These two sessions will take place over lunchtime on Thursday 14 & Friday 15 May, and each session will include 4 small subgroups on different topics. When joining a session, you  will only attend the one subsession selected upon registration, not multiple.

Space to participate in these sessions is limited! As we want to provide an intimate and safe environment for discussion & conversation, participation will be limited to 10 participants for each subgroup. 

If you are attending the Padua meeting, and are looking for support & advice, make sure to sign up for one of the sessions! 

Registration for these sessions will open on 16 March! 

We kindly ask you to only register for a session, if you are actually going to attend.
