EYES Clinical Observership Programme (COP)

The EYES Clinical Observership Programme (COP) enables ESE Early Career Investigators from Europe to grow and learn during a short, one-month stay in endocrine centres of special interest across Europe and Brazil. Several Observerships are awarded each year, including three funded by ESE amounting to €1,000 each, and others that are self-funded by participants. The programme provides clinical training opportunities at 27 specialized centres focusing on various areas of endocrinology including adrenal endocrinology, andrology, neuroendocrinology, diabetes, obesity, pituitary diseases, and endocrine tumours. Successful applicants receive an official certificate upon completion and are required to complete a logbook, evaluation form, and submit a 300-word article describing their experience. The Observership must be completed within 18 months of the award announcement, typically made at the ESE EYES Symposium during the European Congress of Endocrinology.
