As the first meeting of its kind organised by the European Society of Neuroradiology, the ESNRise Conference has been created to address the broader aspects of building a successful and fulfilling career in our specialty. It provides a dedicated forum for residents, fellows, and early-career neuroradiologists to discuss topics that are highly relevant to their professional development but are often underrepresented at traditional meetings focusing on teaching, scientific and clinical advances. ESNRise aims to complement scientific education with the skills, experiences, and professional connections that are essential for the next generation of neuroradiologists.
