Abstract

In this article, we provide an overview of the experience of being chair and co-chair of the Early Career Member Committee (ECMC) of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) from past and current officers – Niki Ubags (past chair), Maxime Patout (past co-chair), Sara Cuevas Ocaña (current chair) and Thomas Gille (current co-chair) (figure 1). The past chair and co-chair share their main achievements and challenges as leaders of the ECMC, and how the position has impacted (or is impacting) their career. The current chair and co-chair provide their view of the ECMC for the future and the goals to achieve during their mandate.

We also outline the ERS Networking EXcellence Training (NEXT) programme and provide testimonials from ERS members who were invited to participate in the first edition of the programme, and selected to present their work in the Science slam session at the ERS Congress 2022. Find out the reasons why you should be NEXT!
