ESC Grants

Learn more about ESC Grants

We support the training and research efforts of individuals and institutions in the field of Cardiology.

Some grants or fellowships concern specific topics of cardiology and eligibility criteria may differ between them. The number of grants has significantly increased in recent years with contributions from the Associations, Working Groups and Councils of the ESC.

Read the article from the European Heart Journal on ESC Grants.
After the announcement of last year's ESC training and research grants, Prof. David Wood, Chairman of the ESC Training and Research Grants Committee, spoke about the selection process to Emma Wilkinson, MA. 

Please feel free to come back to this page regularly as new grant schemes become available.

  • ESC Research Grants: A category of grants awarded to medical graduates at any stage in their career but before obtaining a “permanent“, “senior staff“ or “consultant“ post, or for science graduates with research experience up to Junior Investigator, Lecturer, Assistant Professorship or equivalent level, whose work has been, or is, related to cardiovascular research.
