About the Community

By representing 40% of ESC Members, the ESC Young Community holds a significant role within the broader ESC Community.

Diversity is our strength: All scientists, clinicians, nurses and allied professionals under 40 or in training are part of the ESC Young Community!

The ESC Young Community boasts an active and influential network, with over 300 representatives globally. This dynamic community's impact is evident in major ESC events, as demonstrated by the presence of under 40s constituting 34% of onsite delegates at the ESC Congress 2024.
