Young investigator meeting "TANDEM"
Today, nothing is more important than networking to buildup successful collaborations with scientific output. Therefore, ESNM created the independent young investigator meeting "nEUROgastro TANDEM" to stress the European collaboration of basic and clinical scientists and practitioners in neurogastroenterology.
Goals
- Reinforcing the crosstalk between basic science and clinical practice in neurogastroenterology
- Formation of long lasting interactions
- Establishing transeuropean networks
- Creating high impact scientific output in multinational colaborations
Upcoming meeting
We are pleased to announce that our next nEUROgastro TANDEM will take place prior to NeuroGASTRO 2023, to be held in Bucharest, Romania.
Application to the TANDEM Young Investigator Program is easy. Please check the eligibility criteria below before applying.

Synopsis
The nEUROgastro TANDEM meeting is a highly competitive meeting, addressing European scientists with clinical and basic background. The meeting’s leitmotif is translational research: connect basic science to clinical expertise. After a selection process, ten MD and ten PhD applicants will be chosen and paired up three months prior to the meeting. Each team will be mentored by one member of the organizing committee.
Teams are requested to come up with a translational pilot & feasibility project proposal that they must introduce in a 20-min presentation at the TANDEM meeting. Projects will be discussed with all participants and scored. The project/team with the highest score will get funding of 5000 Euro that is intended as start-up money with the goal to lead to an independent grant. The modalities of payment are planned as a reimbursement bound to data presentation required at the next European NeuroGASTRO Meeting. The TANDEM Meeting will be summarized in one of the sessions at NeuroGASTRO as well as highlighted in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology.
