CA24124 - Network for the Advancement of Neutropenia Research and Patient Support (Neutro-NARPS)

The Young Neutro-NARPS Committee is pleased to establish the Online Discussion Club (ODC) as a key initiative within COST Action CA24124.

The ODC provides a dedicated platform for young members of the Neutro-NARPS network to present their ongoing or planned research projects through short online sessions open to all Action participants, including both early-career and senior researchers. The initiative aims to foster scientific exchange, encourage constructive feedback, and support the development of collaborations across institutions and disciplines.

In addition to project presentations, the ODC will provide updates on COST networking and capacity-building opportunities, with a focus on activities within CA24124, including Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs), Training Schools, and related initiatives.
