Fellowship Grant Programme
The CIRSE Fellowship Grant Programme (FGP) allows CIRSE members to apply for a €3,000 grant to fund a one-month stay at a European centre outside their country of residence, where they can train or experience new procedures. With this programme, the CIRSE Foundation actively supports international mobility of IRs and the growth of IR across Europe. Due to varying European legislations, the one-month stay at the host centre will most likely be an observership, depending on the arrangement between candidates and hosting institutions.
The 2024 funding cycle has been closed and all grants have been awarded.
The programme met with great enthusiasm by both young IRs in training and more experienced colleagues, and we received a large number of excellent applications.
A new call for applications for the 2025 funding cycle will be launched in November 2024. Stay tuned!
The 2024 cycle has been entirely funded by the CIRSE Foundation. If you are a corporate partner of CIRSE interested to support this initiative, please contact us at [email protected].

We have a total of 16 IR consultants, along with a large vascular surgery team. There are multiple MDTs through the week, including specialized ones dealing with peripheral vascular, HCC, complex aortic pathology, renal transplant+dialysis access, and portal hypertension. Meetings such as M&M and journal club take place regularly, along with audit. Training can be tailored to an individual trainee’s requirements, depending on what their goals and aspirations were. Accordingly they would be able to attend select/specific cases as per their development needs. There would be an opportunity to be involved with emergency/on-call cases.
