Erasmus Summer Programme (ESP)

Programme: August 7 – 25, 2023

Each year the Erasmus Summer Programme provides hundreds of students, researchers and health professionals with the opportunity to boost their scientific careers. It is a specialized event, in English, that offers three weeks of á la carte research training in quantitative medical and health research at Master/PhD level. The event is held in-person at Erasmus MC, the Netherlands.

The programme provides its participants with a broad range of dynamic courses, both introductory and advanced, and provides the flexibility to mix and match the courses to their own individual programme.

The Erasmus Summer Programme will offer you a rich, interactive learning experience. Whether you are a student, researcher, executive or advisor in health sciences, this programme offers you the cutting-edge training you need to significantly enhance your competitive edge and to expand the frontiers of your scientific knowledge.

About the programme
In 1990, the Netherlands Institute for Health Sciences (NIHES) in cooperation with University Medical Center Rotterdam (Erasmus MC) initiated the international renowned Erasmus Summer Programme (ESP). Today, the programme is brought to you by Erasmus MC Graduate School, which NIHES is part of.
