Scientific Information

Organising Institutions

The European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) has been at the forefront of Paediatric medical care and innovation since 1958. As one of the oldest and most prolific Paediatric research societies in Europe, its activities are organised according to three pillars:

1. The ten sections representing different Paediatric sub-specialties fostering the publication of research and guidelines;
2. The European School of Neonatology (ESN) acting as the society’s educational arm and implementing a wide range of educational activities.
3. The European Board of Neonatal Child Health Research (EBNCHR) that periodically reviews the European Training Requirements (ETR) in Neonatology and provides leadership in the context of child health research policy and funding.

The ESPR co-organises large-scale annual conferences, supports investigators with research grants, runs a mentoring programme and disseminates cutting-edge findings through its Springer-Nature journal Pediatric Research, amongst others.

Mission: Developing and applying research to improve newborn and child health.

The European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (EFCNI) is the first pan-European organisation and network to represent the interests of preterm and newborn infants and their families. It brings together parents, healthcare experts from different disciplines, and scientists with the common goal of improving long-term health of preterm and newborn children. EFCNI’s vision is to ensure the best start in life for every baby.

The mission of the Union of European Neonatal & Perinatal Societies (UENPS) is to improve healthcare in the neonatal and perinatal medicine in the European countries. Main goals of UENPS are to improve quality in perinatal and neonatal care by integrating, coordinating and adding national and scientific societies’ efforts, to promote the knowledge of the perinatal indicators and to develop recommendations, guidelines, training of the healthcare providers and any other tool to achieve the best healthcare for every newborn and surveillance of neonatal rights wherever they are born.

Following on UENPS’ mission, a division named “UENPS Hall of Knowledge” has been established in 2019. Its aim is to gather all experiences and cultural activities developed throughout the years and offer a wider educational approach to the hot topics of neonatology.

Expert Panel: Manon Benders, the Netherlands, Luca Ramenghi, Italy, Sandra Horsch, Germany, Jeroen Dudink, the Netherlands

Enhance your neuroimaging skills (CUS and MRI) and explore the fascinating world of neonatal brain injury. Through active participation and collaborative learning, you'll engage in discussions and analyze a variety of clinical cases. Guided by experts, you'll learn to interpret and analyze CUS and MRI imaging, choose the appropriate modality, and unravel the complexities of neonatal brain injury. By discussing a variety of cases of preterm and term brain injury, we'll demonstrate how neuroimaging can guide clinical decision-making, predict outome and improve patient care.

Health care providers are challenged when parents ask for their personal opinions on difficult decisions. Participants in this session will have the exciting opportunity to participate in an interactive study to explore the views of neonatal care providers on this topic. A video-animated, case-based discussion will address some of the challenges that arise, such as navigating between respect for autonomy and beneficence. Finally, a possible practical approach to addressing this issue will be presented.
