Young Physiologists become the Netzwerk Junge Physiologie (NJP)

 

The Young Physiologists of the Deutsche Physiologische Gesellschaft (DPG) have a new name: Netzwerk Junge Physiologie (NJP).

Following the 15th Symposium of the Young Physiologists in Berlin (April 8–10, 2026) and the strong interest of early-career researchers in our community, the members of the Young Physiologists voted on a new name that better reflects the identity and purpose of the network. The name „Netzwerk Junge Physiologie (NJP)” was chosen by the members themselves and now officially replaces the previous designation „Young Physiologists“.

The new name highlights what the community stands for: a network of young and early-career physiologists, providing opportunities to connect, exchange scientific ideas, establish collaborations, and actively shape the future of physiology.

Along with the new name, the NJP also presents a new logo, marking an important step in the continued development of the community.

We look forward to continuing to grow the Netzwerk Junge Physiologie together and welcoming new members to our network.

"Pint of Physiology", held on September 18th at Centimeter am Rathaus in Vienna, was a lively and engaging start to this year’s DPG conference. Young physiologists enjoyed an evening of tasty drinks, networking, and short, entertaining scientific presentations.
