At present, the Grant is fixed at 1,000 euro and it is envisaged that the successful applicants will spend a minimum of 4 – 6 weeks observing clinical work in a West European Centre. The SOE Council has compiled a list of Centres which accept observers and of the subspecialties they offer.

The number of Educational Grants is limited to 80 per year and 2 or 3 applicants from each East European country (Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, The Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldavia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine and Yugoslavia).

Please note that you should not contact the clinic or hospital you would like to visit while applying for the grant. We will only ask you to contact the clinics or hospital if you have been selected for the SOE Educational Grant, in which case we will give you further information.
