Young ESPID

Young ESPID is a group of members who are in training and in early career. They are either members under 40 years old and/or members who are still in training*.

A member can no longer be a member of YE after his/her position no longer meets at least one of the above criteria.

*Individuals > 40 years old, must provide membership@espid.org proof of training status to maintain their YE membership. By providing proof of training, the member receives a 2-year extension to remain in the YE community.

Individuals > 42 years old who are still in training, due to special life circumstances (e.g. maternity/paternity or sick leave, or other), must provide to ESPID a second proof of training status, if they wish to maintain their YE membership. By providing this second proof of training, the member can receive another, final, 2-year extension to remain in YE community.

Welcome message

Welcome to “Young ESPID”, the future of Paediatric Infectious Diseases in Europe and beyond. “Young ESPID” was founded in 2010, we started with 35 members and in 2017 we are now just over 500 from 75 different countries. As a group of under-40s we support the ESPID board and its committees. We also have YE country representatives from 35 different countries that help us link with PID doctors and spread the word of ESPID job and training opportunities elsewhere.
