The Junior European Calcium Society board consists of young scientists (Ph.D. students, postdocs, and non-tenured junior group leaders) in the field of calcium research. The goal of the JECS board is to foster contacts and relationships by creating links between new and well-established scientists, as well as to support the next generation of researchers within the society.<\/p>\n
