ESE European Lectures

Hosting an "ESE European Lecture" gives National Partner Societies the chance to invite a key ESE speaker to their national meeting. The aim is to strengthen connections, collaboration and knowledge-sharing between ESE and the National Partner Societies.

How it works:

  • A speaker will attend your national meeting, present a lecture and provide a brief overview of ESE's work
  • In most cases the speaker will attend virtually, but in-person lectures may be possible
  • Speakers are chosen in collaboration with the National Societies, the ESE President and the ESE Executive Committee
  • National Societies are expected to fund the speaker's accommodation and subsistence costs
  • ESE may consider funding the speaker's travel costs related to the European Lecture, depending on budget restrictions.

There are two application deadlines each year: 28 February and 12 September.

Application Information
  1. Please submit this online application form
  2. Your application will be reviewed by the ESE President and the ESE Executive Committee (if necessary)
  3. The decision will be based on the number of Lectures already allocated for the year and will also take account of any recent Lectures awarded to the applying National Society in the interest of fairness to all National Partner Societies.

The proposed speaker should be:

  • A current member of ESE (and have been a member for at least one year)
  • Either currently working or recently involved in an ESE Committee, Focus Area, or a working/steering group – or recommended by a member of one of those (or at the discretion of ESE President and/or ESE Officers)
  • An internationally acknowledged expert in a defined endocrine field.
  • Please read the ESE Equality, Diversion and Inclusion Policy, and include these principles at the event where possible.
  • Affiliation: All National Partner Societies can promote their affiliation to ESE on their website and other channels (including for annual national meetings) using our ESE Affiliated Society logo (please contact ecas@ese-hormones.org if you would like the logo set).  
  • Endorsement: We have recently updated our event endorsement policy. Please read the new criteria before applying.
