description <p><b>Introduction:</b> The European Union stipulates transnational recognition of professional qualifications for several sectoral professions, including medical doctors. The Union of European Medical Specialists (UEMS), in its “Charter on Training of Medical Specialists,” defines the principles for high-level medical training. These principles are manifested in the framework for European Training Requirements (ETR), ensuring medical training reflects modern medical practice and current scientific findings. In 1998, the European Society for Paediatric Research developed the first ETR for Neonatology. We present the ETR Neonatology in its third iteration (ETR III), ratified by the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP), and approved by UEMS in 2021. </p> <p><b>Methods:</b> In generating the ETR III, existing European policy documents on training requirements, including national syllabi and the European Standards of Care for Newborn Health were considered. To ensure the ETR III meets a pan-European standard of expertise in Neonatology, input from representatives from 27 European national paediatric/neonatal societies, and a European parent organisation, was sought. </p> <p><b>Results:</b> The ETR III summarises the requirements of contemporary training programs in Neonatology and offers a system for accrediting trainers and training centres. We describe the content of the ETR III training syllabus and means of gaining and assessing competency as a medical care provider in Neonatology. </p> <p><b>Conclusion:</b> Graduates of courses following the ETR III Neonatology will obtain a certificate of satisfactory training completion which should be accepted by all European member states as a baseline qualification to practice as a specialist in neonatal medicine, enabling mutual recognition of status throughout Europe.</p>
