ESCRS Accepting Applications for Peter Barry Fellowship

Applications are now open for the 2025 Peter Barry Fellowship, which honours the immense contributions to ophthalmology and ESCRS by the late Peter Barry.
The Fellowship includes a stipend of €60,000 to allow a trainee to work abroad at a centre of excellence for clinical experience or research in the field of cataract and refractive surgery, anywhere in the world, for one year. Applicants must be a European trainee ophthalmologist, 40 years of age or younger on the closing date for applications (2 March 2025), and an ESCRS member by the time of starting the Fellowship.
Eligible applications will be evaluated by an expert panel against the proposed research importance assessment criteria. Selected applicants will then be invited for an interview with the ESCRS Peter Barry Fellowship Committee.
The Fellowship recipient will be announced at the 2025 ESCRS Annual Congress, with the Fellowship starting the following year.
