Education
ESMINT is a non-profit European educational and scientific society of neuroradiology and neurointerventions, committed to providing high-quality education and training for its members.
ESMINT’s Educational Cluster encompasses a comprehensive range of programmes and opportunities designed to enhance education and training in neurointerventional practices. The curriculum include:
- ECMINT: Provides intense theoretical education in the full INR spectrum.
- EXMINT: Provides in-depth theoretical education in stroke treatment.
- Online Learning: Provides accessible online educational resources and courses.
- Fellowship: Provides hands-on training and mentorship in neurointerventional practices.
- e-Fellowship: Delivers virtual training and online mentorship for global accessibility.
- Skills Training: Emphasizes practical skills through hands-on sessions.
- Examination: Validates practitioners’ knowledge through certification exams.
The Examination is organised in consultation with EBNI, the European Board of Neurointervention.

ECMINT
ECMINT (European Course in Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy) is a series of residential theoretical training courses in partnership with the Oxford Neurovascular and Neuroradiology Research Unit (ONNRU), Oxford University, which ESMINT has organized since December 2014.
EXMINT
EXMINT is a condensed theoretical training which forms the basis for neurointerventional ischemic stroke treatment. EXMINT was established in 2018 to meet the needs of the growing number of physicians wanting to perform stroke treatment.
Online Learning Programme
ESMINT holds live webinars on endovascular therapies as part of its Online Learning Programme.
Chair, Online Learning
Fellowship Programmes
ESMINT offers a Fellowship and Observership Programme. There is also an e-Fellowship Programme provided by ESMINT.
Chair, Fellowship/e-Fellowship
Skills Training
ESMINT’s Skills Training is a new hand-on course. The first edition will take place at the Amsterdam Skills Center (ASC) on 11-12 March 2024.
This Skills Training programme adds an important practical part to the Educational Cluster of ESMINT which comprises: ECMINT, EXMINT, ESMINT Fellowship, ESMINT e-Fellowship and ESMINT Online Learning.
Tutors will be experienced inventionalists from the ESMINT faculty. The course will be supported by the educational and engineering departments of our industry partners. Groups of 3 – 4 participants will each be supervised by one tutor.
Examination
EDNI: The European Diploma in Neurointervention
ESMINT offers a theoretical qualification in neurointerventional therapy: the European Diploma in Neurointervention (EDNI).
EDSI: The European Diploma in Ischemic Stroke Intervention
ESMINT offers a theoretical qualification in stroke treatment: the European Diploma in Ischemic Stroke Intervention (EDSI).
Chair, Examination
ESMINT’s aims are:
- To provide continuing education and training for physicians and scientists practicing or interested in developing interventional neuroradiological or endovascular neurosurgical minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of neurological diseases.
- To promote the exchange of ideas and information for the further definition of the role, direction and goals of interventional neuroradiology and endovascular neurosurgery.
ESO-ESMINT-ESNR Stroke Winter School
The ESO-ESMINT-ESNR Stroke Winter School offers concentrated high-quality teaching sessions and courses on acute stroke management. The target audience consists of young stroke physicians and neuroradiologists with a major interest in cerebrovascular diseases.
ESO, ESMINT and ESNR endorses this winter course which primary goal is to join European young stroke physicians and young neuroradiologists in order to improve acute interdisciplinary stroke treatment.
The secondary goal of the school is to perform “hands-on” sessions for interventional neuroradiologists and special teaching courses for stroke physicians.
