Who we are
Please let us introduce “Young ESGAR (YE)”, an exciting initiative to promote active participation of young members within the vibrant ESGAR community. The main goal of Young ESGAR is to generate a forum of enthusiastic young members to represent the interests of young residents, radiologists and researchers within ESGAR. We aim to create an informal and interactive platform to network, exchange ideas and help shape the future of ESGAR.
Since the launch in 2019 almost 200 people from more than 35 different countries worldwide have joined our young ESGAR network and now form a dynamic community.
You can join our YE network and mailing list for free:
