The Net4Brain Young Researchers Group (YRG) is a dedicated platform for PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career researchers in brain and CNS cancer research. Our goal is to support the next generation of scientists through training, networking, collaboration, and leadership opportunities within the Net4Brain COST Action.
YRG provides a dynamic platform for young researchers to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen their expertise through workshops, mentoring programmes, and international collaborations. Members gain access to training sessions and publishing guidance, building visibility and confidence in their careers.
Through events such as the Net4Brain Early Career Researchers Online Meeting (28 October 2025) — featuring keynote lectures, author workshops, and interactive sessions — the YRG fosters engagement between young and senior scientists. Regular activities include annual meetings, training schools, and research exchanges, building a strong and sustainable community.
In essence, the YRG serves as a hub for inspiration, learning, and collaboration, nurturing scientific excellence and a vibrant community of emerging researchers across Europe and beyond.
