Since 2014, the European Bioanalysis Forum has organized the Young Scientist Symposium, providing early-career scientists with unique development opportunities. By fostering a peer community, this initiative has successfully lowered barriers to engagement in cross-company, pre-competitive interactions. Since 2018, the symposium has included the Science Café roundtable, further reinforcing the European Bioanalysis Forum's commitment to supporting young scientists beyond their scientific expertise by promoting broader professional development.This manuscript summarizes discussions from the 10th Young Scientist Symposium, held in Hasselt, Belgium, from May 15-17, 2024. The symposium featured presentations on new technologies, biomarker assays, troubleshooting, and microsampling. Additionally, it provides insights from the Science Café discussions, which focused on sustainability in the bioanalytical laboratory.
