Grants will be given to ESRA members applying for support of participation in a teaching program in an ESRA Approved Training Institution in Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine in Europe.
The grants are given to encourage participation in teaching programs (rotations) and/ or research of a duration of at least three months. The grant should be used for travel costs from the home country to the teaching hospital and for costs of living at the teaching site.
Grants are available for extended training modules only in regional anaesthesia and pain medicine (including acute pain & cancer-related pain control). Applications for other anaesthesia-related subjects will be rejected.
Grants consist of a fixed 1000€ travel expenses reimbursement paid by bank transfer four weeks prior to the start of the educational program (to be confirmed by the program’s director). Thereafter, a grant from 500 € to 1000€ per month will be transferred for a minimum period of three months and up to six months. The total of the grant is a maximum 3,000€ + travel expenses whether it is for 3 or 6 months. Please note that 50% of the total grant will be paid upon confirmation of arrival of the grantee by the program’s director, and 50% upon confirmation of full completion of the program as well as upon the grantee’s return to his/her country of origin.
