Congress Participation Grants

To support the next generation of neurointerventional professionals, ESMINT is offering 10 Congress Participation Grants to young physicians.

The grants are open only to applicants who have had one or more abstracts accepted for presentation at the Congress (see below for the full elgibility criteria.) You may apply now if you have submitted an abstract but you will not be notified of the result of your application until after notifications have been sent.

These grants aim to make participation more accessible, especially for those with limited financial means, and to foster international exchange and professional growth.

The award consist of:

  • Registration fee
  • Up to 3 nights modest hotel accommodation (mostly in the Vieux Port area of Marseille)
  • One Networking Event ticket
  • For successful candidates from low-income* countries only, a €500 contribution towards travel expenses (paid after the congress against proof of expenditure)

Please note, candidates who are not from low-income* countries will not receive a travel stipend.

*as per the most recent World Bank rankings at 1st April 2025 – see HERE
