Supported by educational grants from:

Objectives

The goal of this initiative is to encourage young gifted dermatologists to further pursue their academic careers through guidance and mentoring of established scientists in the field. Besides scientific sessions, there is a strong emphasis on encouraging young people to network and to exchange ideas. The ESDR is convinced that the Academy is a vital platform for developing European research networks and to foster tomorrow’s leaders in dermatology. The future leaders academy is an excellent opportunity for sponsoring companies to establish sound professional relationships with the next generation of leaders in dermatology.

Applications are reviewed on scientific merit by the ESDR Scientific Program Committee.
