ESCMID: TAE Day

A revised and exciting programme

TAE Day is organised every year at ESCMID Global by the Trainee Association of ESCMID (TAE). This session targets CM and ID trainees to take part in round table-type sessions, where they have the chance to informally interact with renowned experts in the field of CM and ID. This way, they can get inspiration from the experts, discuss the main challenges and decisions during clinical and/or research careers, get career advice, learn about career/research opportunities and strengthen their network.

Stay tuned for the announcement of our expert moderators and registrations soon!
