The ESE European Lecture aims to strengthen the collaboration between ESE and the National Partner Societies, and to bring information about ESE to National Partner Society members.
The European Lecture gives an opportunity for National Partner Societies to request the presence of a key ESE speaker at their national meeting.

Key Points:

  • ESE European Lectures are held at National Partner Societies annual meetings
  • A speaker will attend the national meeting, present a lecture and provide information about ESE in the form of a short introduction about ESE, and by providing one insert if appropriate
  • The speaker is chosen in collaboration with the national societies, the ESE President and if necessary the ESE Executive Committee
  • If required and according to budget restrictions, ESE will consider funding speaker travel costs related to the European Lecture
  • The National society applying for a lecture will be expected to fund costs for speaker accommodation, subsistence and related expenses.

Requirements:

  • Only National Partner Societies promoting their affiliation to ESE on their website will be eligible to apply for an ESE European Lecture
  • Successful applications include agreement for ESE to send up to three inserts for delegate bags if appropriate (or to display at the meeting)
  • The applying Society agrees to read the ESE Equality, Diversion and Inclusion Policy, and where possible will implement a similar policy for their meeting
