Special thanks to @costprogramme.bsky.social for the organisation of the event and for all our members for their active and engaging participation!

Today the PanEuCOPT COST Action was officially launched!
The Management Committee voted for their Working Group Leaders, and from time zero we're already working and discussing how to make our field more relevant and attractive for all our stakeholders: scientists, clinicians and patients.

And apparently I tagged another Joanna Rutkowska, here is the real and fantanstic Joanna @rujoanna.bsky.social !

And we need institutions that match our motivations and expectations!!!

In the words of @joannarutkowska.bsky.social:
"Nothing about us, without us"!

We're the future of research and we need to be in this conversation!

Today's workshop:
"Attracting and Supporting Early Career Researchers — Mapping Schemes and Fostering a Virtuous Research Ecosystem"

Opening up with precisely my thoughts:
"Supporting researchers require more than good intentions"

Biggest challenge in Academy: videoconferences and how to share slides

Last week we also had @mmuskovic.bsky.social training at #COSTAcademy on leadership!
Her training will not only boost the way the Working Groups are lead, but also will boost her scientific career! 🚀
Follow us for more updates on this adventure!

Please follow the @paneucopt.bsky.social account, a great @costprogramme.bsky.social Action full of scientific and societal promises thanks to #photodynamic effects 🥰
It is led by @biankas.bsky.social and has already many talented members 👍🌞

Next October 9th 2025 the PanEuCOPT 1st Management Committee meeting, taking place in Bruxelles, Belgium!
