ESGENA: Education Grants

ESGENA European Education Grants are offered to fully trained European nurses who wish to undertake further clinical training in specialised endoscopic or gastroenterological nursing at an officially recognised ESGENA host centre. Hands-on training may not be possible in many countries due to legal restrictions.

ESGENA Grants are restricted to ESGENA Members (either with Individual Membership or with Group Membership through their national Group)

Each grant covers a maximum period of 4 weeks. Successful applicants will be asked to report back concerning the quality of their training period.

Please note that a high proficiency in the language of the preferred host country is essential and the candidate should be able to provide a report in English after the visit.

Experience has shown that most nurses are able to travel with a standard holiday visa, which should be organised by the applicant prior to departure.

Selection will be made by the ESGENA Board.
Applications should be sent to Ulrike Beilenhoff:
