What is the grant for?
The ESC Stroke Mechanical Thrombectomy Grant is designed to allow a physician to perform the EXMINT course.
One EXMINT cycle comprises two 5-day courses, including lectures, small group tutorials, debates, and tests. The final examination will take place every September, prior to the annual ESMINT Congress in Nice, France.
It is open to physicians (cardiologists, neurologists, radiologists, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, or other researchers with MD title, nurses and allied professionals), who demonstrate an interest in stroke.
EXMINT Course 5th edition in 2022/2023 will consist of EXMINT 5.1: online and EXMINT 5.2: onsite in Prague.

plus

The total value of the grant is €1500 per awardee and will be paid in two installments, after completion of course 5.1 and 5.2.
This grant is open to candidates of all nationalities (European or worldwide).
