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 any budget restrictions.

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

Application Information
  1. Please contact ESE for an application form
  2. Your application will be reviewed by the ESE President, and if necessary, the ESE Executive Committee
  3. The decision will be based on financial availability, taking account of any recent support provided to the applicant society in the interest of fairness for 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.
  • Only National Partner Societies that promote their affiliation to ESE on their website will be eligible to apply for an ESE European Lecture 
  • If successful, you agree that ESE may send up to three inserts for delegate bags (or to display at the meeting)
  • Please read the ESE Equality, Diversion and Inclusion Policy, and include these principles at the event where possible.
  • If you would like to include ESE's logo on your event, please get in touch. You may wish to consult our endorsement policy.
