Webinars

After the experience with the Covid-19 pandemic there is an increased demand for virtual meetings and education formats. ESPGHAN has thus launched an easy-to-access format for our members who wish to continue making knowledge globally accessible despite the current limitations with face-to-face meetings.

Definition, Scope and Purpose

Short and easy to organise presentation by one speaker on a specific topic and a duration of approximately one hour (30’ presentation + 30’ Discussion).

Who can apply?

Any member willing to organise a webinar should submit a formal application, the template of which can be found in the Library of  MyESPGHAN. Each application will be evaluated by dedicated members of the Education Committee and will require final approval from the Education Secretary. The application should include information on: Topic, Speaker, Date, and a short justification as to why the specific topic is considered of value to ESPGHAN.
