Early Career Scientist

Are you a postgraduate student or a scientist from academia or industry who has received his/her highest degree (MSc, or PhD) within the past ten years?

Then this page is particularly of interest to you.

As an Early Career Scientist, you can participate to the ILSI Europe activity like all other experts. This will give you the opportunity to meet and exchange with your peers. In addition, you may also be paired with a mentor for specific tasks.

An Expert Group carries out the work outlined by the task force, such as collecting & analyzing data and writing scientific papers. The output of their work is published primarily in peer-reviewed scientific journals and disseminated at relevant events. Each activity has to result in a peer-reviewed publication. A Concise Monograph or Black & White Report (ILSI Europe Report Series) may also be produced at a later stage, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.
