The ESH Summer Schools provides a great opportunity for participants to learn more about Hypertension and associated diseases, to make new friends and to interact with other students and faculty.

Who Should Attend
The ESH Summer School is a once-in-a-lifetime event, which means each participant can attend the course only once in his/her life. Although there is no specific age limit, younger candidates strongly devoted to hypertension should be preferred. The participants must be nominated by their National Society of Hypertension.

Faculty
The ESH Hypertension Summer School brings together a truly international faculty, offering the unique opportunity to expose the fellows to excellent local speakers. The 2025 ESH Summer School will feature a lively format supporting interaction between attendees and the ESH faculty.

Expenses
The financial rules will be the same as in previous years:

  • The attendees’ accommodation and meals will be covered by the ESH.
  • The attendees’ travel costs should be covered by the National Societies of Hypertension.
  • ESH will continue to provide some travel grants to countries facing economic difficulties.
