ExPAEDition 2026: Shared Support Opportunity for EAP National Societies

EAP is inviting National Societies to help support one eligible paediatric resident from their country to take part in ExPAEDition 2026, through a shared funding model.

ExPAEDition 2026 is a short observership exchange programme by EAP and Young EAP, offering up to five paediatric residents the opportunity to complete a clinical observership at Hospices Civils de Lyon, France, from 19–27 October 2026, followed by participation in CEPAS 2026, the joint biennial meeting of EAP and ESPR, from 28–31 October 2026.

The estimated support per participant is €1,000, proposed to be shared equally between EAP and the National Society, with each contributing €500. This support would help cover travel, accommodation, local transport, and related expenses.

This is a practical and meaningful way for National Societies to invest in the next generation of paediatricians and strengthen European professional exchange.
