The European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) funds physicians to learn current MS patient management and care at a European MS clinic or research centre.

Applicants choose their own host and senior clinical mentor in advance, then train full-time in clinical care, which may include coursework and clinical research. The aim is to build careers as MS physicians through cross-border exchange.

Benefits & funding

  • EUR 55,000 for one year (pro-rated if shorter), paid to the host as the fellow’s employer, which pays a salary or stipend at its own rate.
  • Economy travel between home and host, reimbursed on receipts; no family travel.
  • Separate travel and accommodation support to attend and present at the annual ECTRIMS congress.
  • Term: 1 year (2027 guide); the main page also lists 3- or 6-month terms.

Eligibility

  • Any nationality; an MD or equivalent medical degree (completed residency not required).
  • Specialty interest in neurology or another MS-related field of medicine.
  • No prior work at the proposed host institution or under the proposed mentor.
  • The host must be a different institute in a different country from your current post; European citizens must train outside their own country (exceptions possible).
  • Applicant and mentor must confirm no language barrier.
  • One application per cycle across all ECTRIMS fellowship categories.
  • Awardees are generally under 40, but older applicants may apply; all else equal, some preference for applicants from less-developed countries where MS is prevalent.
