During the annual ECNP Congress, pre-clinically and clinically oriented Early Career Scientists will ‘speed-date’ to find their ideal translational partner. Five selected 'matches' will receive funding from ECNP to organise a short translational exchange.
The goal is to foster collaboration between early-career preclinical and clinical scientists, aligning with ECNP’s mission to promote translational research and support the entry and professional development of early-career scientists. Additionally, the initiative aims to encourage collaborations between researchers from different countries within Europe.
