PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A EUROSPINE-funded observership of up to 14 days at an applicant-selected member centre, with EUR 1,500 for travel and accommodation and a certificate. The next recurring deadline is 30 November 2026; the current award count, visa support and formal language-test requirement are not published.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Official certificate of attendance, host-centre learning and international professional networking.
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
ACCOMMODATION & RELOCATION
Published housing information
✓ Official source mentions accommodation
⌂
The EUR 1,500 grant is intended to support travel and accommodation; EUROSPINE does not publish separate housing provision.
Housing availability, rent, deposits, utilities and relocation support can change by intake and appointment type. OrthoFellow does not estimate living costs unless an official source publishes them.
HOST INSTITUTION
About EUROSPINE member centre selected by the applicant
EUROSPINE administers a portable observership grant rather than assigning one fixed hospital. Both the applicant and the receiving centre must be connected to current EUROSPINE members.
The cited evidence does not provide a programme-specific faculty roster that OrthoFellow can safely publish. Open the official source or submit an institutional correction; names and portraits are never inferred from department membership.
Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Published fellowship history
The current page publishes two annual cycles, closing 31 July and 30 November. A 2023 guideline described four cycles and a maximum of five proposals per cycle; those limits are retained as historical and are not presented as current policy.
APPLICANT PROFILE

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Published language requirement
The curriculum vitae must be submitted in English; no formal language test or minimum score is published
OrthoFellow keeps language requirements separate from clinical eligibility. A programme may use English operationally without publishing a formal test score.
