Young ESR

The Young ESR Programme is an initiative developed by the Young ESR Committee under the auspices of the European Society of Radiology (ESR). It aims to represent and support the evolving needs of early-career radiologists while fostering excellence, inclusivity, and leadership across the profession.

In alignment with the Committee’s mission, the Programme seeks to promote professional development, encourage international collaboration, and address key issues such as equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), and sustainability in radiology and the wider healthcare environment.

ESR Definition Young Radiologists

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) defines a Young Radiologist as a person under 40, or a radiological trainee, or a radiologist who completed their training within the past 5 years.

The 5-year period can be extended to allow for periods when the radiologist was not working because of, but not limited to, caring and/or parental responsibilities, disability, personal illness, community obligations or national service.
