- the annual European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) (applications closed 15 March 2024)
- an ESE training course or event, including the ESE Postgraduate Training Course, ESE Summer School and the EYES Annual Meeting.
These grants are available to ESE Student, Early Career or Members from a low or middle income country (as classified by the World Bank).
PLEASE NOTE: You need to be a fully paid-up ESE Member before you apply for a grant. If your grant application is successful, and you have not been able to register for ECE before the Super Early Bird deadline of 25 March 2024, then the Super Early Bird registration rate will still be given to you.

Please note: We are unable to provide grants to individuals or institutions currently under sanction according to the consolidated list of financial sanctions targets in the UK, as listed here.
Applications are verified to ensure this is not the case before a grant is awarded. ESE does not permit sanctioned individuals or individuals from sanctioned institutions to attend any ESE events.
