ESGE Grants
Grants are being offered by ESGE to fully trained endoscopists wishing to undertake further training in highly specialised endoscopic techniques at an officially recognised ESGE training centre. As of 2011 ESGE Grants have been extended to include three modules: ‘Basic Training with Experts’, ‘Training with Experts’ and ‘Endoscopy Unit Directors Module’.
Application is available to ESGE individual members. For further information on individual membership benefits please click here.
Module I – ‘Basic Training with Experts’
The grantee receives training on basic steps and specific techniques. The duration of this grant is up to a maximum of four weeks depending on the ESGE training centre and techniques studied. Hands-on training is not offered for module I grants.

Module II – ‘Advanced Training with Experts’
Grantees may apply for Module II after successfully completing a Module I Grant. A recommendation from the Module I host unit is usually required. Should persons wish to apply for a module II grant without having taken part on a module I grant, they are required to indicate why they feel qualified on application in a separate letter to the Education Committee.. Module II grants last from three to six months depending on the number of procedures involved and on the field of expertise of the host training centre. Grantees may expect hands-on training on specific techniques during this period.

Module III – ‘Endoscopy Director Unit module’
This module caters to heads of endoscopic units wishing to visit leading units in order to observe organizational models. Module III grants, which are a maximum of one week, aim at facilitating non-formal institutional contacts and potentially improving formal multicenter cooperation.
