American Pediatric Society

The American Pediatric Society (APS) was founded in 1888 and has over 1,700 members.

The APS seeks to advance the study of infants, children and adolescents and their diseases, to prevent illness and promote health in childhood, to promote pediatric education and research, and to honor those who, by their contributions to pediatrics, have aided in its advancement.

European Society for Paediatric Research

The European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) has been at the forefront of Paediatric medical care and innovation since 1958. As one of the oldest and most prolific Paediatric research societies in Europe, its activities are organised according to three pillars:

  1. The ten sections representing different Paediatric sub-specialties fostering the publication of research and guidelines;

  2. The European School of Neonatology (ESN) acting as the society's educational arm and implementing a wide range of educational activities. This includes a clinically-integrated Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Neonatology, an academic Master of Science (MSc) in Neonatology (NOTE) in collaboration with the University of Southampton, and dedicated ESN hands-on pre-congress courses;

  3. The European Board of Neonatal Child Health Research (EBNCHR) that periodically reviews the European Training Requirements (ETR) in Neonatology and provides leadership in the context of child health research policy and funding.

In this context, the ESPR co-organises large-scale annual conferences, supports investigators with research grants, runs a mentoring programme and disseminates cutting-edge findings through its Springer-Nature journal Pediatric Research, amongst others.
 
Based on its heritage and proudly looking back at a long list of achievements, the ESPR continues to promote scientific excellence and collaboration between different Paediatric specialties. This the ESPR does from 'bench to bedside' – meaning it fosters research to improve patient treatment and advance clinical practice.
 
Mission: Developing and applying research to improve newborn and child health.
