Resident Grants
The Board of SOE offers a limited number of scholarships for ophthalmologists-in-training from East European countries to visit Ophthalmic Centres in Western Europe.
Applications for the SOE Educational Grant 2013 are now open. Only applications which have been submitted via our website will be considered.
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, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine).
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.
