Description
The European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) runs this programme to support scientific renewal and lasting collaborations among established, mid-career paediatric endocrinologists working on rare endocrine diseases. Multiple short visits over three years give partners a flexible way to develop new research projects and opportunities for further funding. Applicants may visit one or more centres or host a visiting professor at their home centre.
The programme aims to increase and sustain scientific output among ESPE members, foster international collaborations, and strengthen ESPE’s international standing through successful partnerships. Projects involving collaboration with a centre in a low- or middle-income country are considered favourably. Pfizer and Bridge Bio support the programme.
