Join the EUSTM Scientific Advisory Board, Committees & Expert Panels
From bench to bedside to community: applications are now open for the International Scientific Advisory Board and EUSTM Advisory Committees (2026–2028 term), and for one-year appointments to the EUSTM Specialist Expert Panels — voluntary roles for professionals who want to help shape the future of translational medicine.
An Invitation to Serve
The European Society for Translational Medicine (EUSTM) invites experienced professionals to apply for voluntary appointments across its advisory and expert structures — the International Scientific Advisory Board, the EUSTM Advisory Committees and the EUSTM Specialist Expert Panels.
Founded in 2013, EUSTM is an independent, non-commercial professional society that unites healthcare, research, and industry to bring scientific discovery closer to the patients who need it. Its boards, committees and expert panels bring together leading professionals from across the field to set educational and professional standards, shape scientific and clinical best practice, develop the society’s positions and consensus statements, and guide its scientific, advisory, and advocacy work worldwide.
Current Appointment Opportunities
Three ways to serve — choose the appointment that best matches your experience and the contribution you would like to make.

We welcome applications from senior scientists, clinicians, healthcare leaders, industry professionals, regulatory specialists and policy experts.

Please state your principal area of expertise when applying.
From Bench to Bedside to Community
Translational medicine succeeds when expertise from every part of the healthcare and life-science ecosystem works together. EUSTM particularly welcomes applications from:
Laboratory, preclinical and translational researchers, biomedical and life-science scientists, data scientists and bioinformaticians working in diagnostics, therapeutics, biomarkers and medical technologies.
Physicians, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals and other professionals from all clinical specialties directly involved in patient care.
Primary-care, public-health and population-health professionals, community healthcare leaders, epidemiologists and specialists in prevention, health promotion, access and implementation.
Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical-device, diagnostics, digital-health and contract-research professionals, including medical affairs, clinical development, market access, quality, safety and compliance.
Regulatory-affairs specialists, medicines and medical-device regulators, pharmacovigilance and drug-safety professionals, and experts in health policy, accreditation and quality standards.
By connecting these perspectives, EUSTM aims to strengthen the complete pathway from scientific discovery and clinical development to patient care and community impact.
Eligibility & Expectations
EUSTM welcomes applications from experienced professionals across the clinical, scientific, academic, industry and healthcare disciplines served by the Society.
Members of the International Scientific Advisory Board, Advisory Committees and Specialist Expert Panels are expected to:
- Demonstrate relevant professional qualifications, experience and subject-matter expertise.
- Contribute actively to the agreed responsibilities of their board, committee or expert panel.
- Follow the EUSTM Code of Professional Conduct, confidentiality requirements and conflict-of-interest policy.
There is no membership or certification requirement. As in the EUSTM Consortium model, EUSTM Regular Individual Membership is highly recommended for appointed members, as it establishes an active professional affiliation with the Society — but it is not a condition of application or appointment. An EUSTM Academy certification is neither required nor expected for any board, committee or expert-panel role.
Appointments are based on qualifications, experience, suitability, available positions and expected contribution.
