The European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID) is inviting its members to apply for the 2025 Clinical Training Fellowship, designed to support short-term training visits to other centres. This opportunity allows early-career professionals to gain hands-on experience in specific skills or areas that are not accessible at their home institutions.

Host Institution Requirements:

• The receiving centre must confirm in writing, ahead of time, that they can offer the requested training—including dates, schedule, and structure.

• After the visit, the centre must verify that the applicant participated in the training as outlined.

Note: Only one ESPID award can be granted per project. If your project could fall under multiple awards, you must choose one and clarify if other funding applications are underway.

This fellowship does not cover research activities—it is intended for clinical training and skill acquisition.
