The application process for the EAS Young Fellows programme starts in January 2024

The EAS Young Fellows programme is the Society’s flagship educational and networking activity.

Every other year we open applications for enthusiastic and committed young scientists to join the next class. Members seeking to apply should be early in their career, aged under 40, and should have made some progress in basic or clinical research, with at least one publication. A firm commitment to follow a career in the field of atherosclerosis and related disease is required.

The programme takes place over two years and will take the form of both online and face-to-face activities as circumstances allow.

The upcoming class is scheduled to commence in 2024, with the application process set to begin in January of the same year.
