Vision

The European Society for Muscle Research Early Careers Association (ESMR-ECA) is an organisation dedicated to empowering early-career muscle researchers and promoting their professional development. Our mission is to foster collaboration, mentorship, and diverse perspectives within the early career muscle research community.

We aim to create an inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities for all members, regardless of their backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, or affiliations. By nurturing a safe and respectful space, we encourage open dialogue to allow not only for the exploration of scientific ideas but also to provide peer support in technical and career matters, thus fostering personal and professional growth among early-career scientists, promoting their success and well-being.

To achieve these goals, we organize a range of events, including online seminars, social media platform (through Discord), and in-person gatherings around the ESMR- European Muscle Conference. ESMR-ECA endeavours to inspire early-career muscle researchers to excel in their fields, advance the collective knowledge in muscle research, and make a lasting impact on the scientific community.
