Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Background: The “Young NaPHOS” project was launched in 2021, by Young SIOPE, the group for junior members
of the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE). The Young NaPHOS project aims to build a network of
national representatives of young paediatric haematologists and oncologists to discuss organisational and
educational aspects at national and European level, differences in the training paths, and the needs to be
addressed in the future.
Methods: From June 2021 until September 2022, three online meetings took place and one online survey was
conducted. The meetings focused on presenting the structure and organisational aspects of existing national
junior organisations in paediatric haematology and oncology, including their national activities. The survey
aimed to investigate the European landscape of national organisations and training paths by inviting 39 young
national representatives.
Results: Ten out of 34 responders confirmed the existence of a junior organisation in their country. Diversity was
noted among the countries for the existence of such organisations, the organisations’ activities, or the membership criteria. Further, the training path to become a paediatric oncologist/haematologist differs a lot. Young
paediatric oncologists also shared common concerns, especially regarding networking, international collaboration, and educational opportunities.
Conclusion: This project resulted in the creation of a European network among young paediatric oncologists and
haematologists, in spreading ideas and offering support, and identified differences and areas for future action of
Young SIOPE.
