EYES Research Observership Programme (ROP)

The EYES Research Observership Programme (ROP) enables Early Career Investigators (ECI) doing basic or translational research from Europe to grow and learn during a short, one-month stay in endocrine centres of special interest across Europe. 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 connects early career researchers with 20 specialist centres across Europe including institutions in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and Austria. The Observership must be completed within 18 months of the award being announced, typically at the ESE EYES Symposium held annually during the European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE). Recipients are required to complete an Observership Logbook, evaluation forms, and submit a 300-word article and photo describing their experience for publication in EYES News.
