What is this Fellowship About?

In collaboration with Globus, the EUROSPINE Robotics & Navigation Travelling Fellowship 2026 supports the continued education and training of spine surgeons through a structured and immersive three-week programme.

The Fellowship begins with attendance at the EUROSPINE Annual Meeting in Gothenburg (7–9 October 2026), including the Pre-Day Course on Tuesday, 6 October. EUROSPINE is the leading European congress for spine surgery and spinal care, bringing together structured education, case-based learning, and masterclasses with forward-looking sessions on AI, robotics, minimally invasive techniques, and data-driven quality improvement.

Following the Annual Meeting, all Fellows will travel to Amsterdam for a two-day Robotics Skills Lab led by Globus, before visiting three specialised European spine centres for direct observation of — and where possible participation in — robotic and navigated spine surgery under the guidance of renowned specialists.

The Fellowship offers ten places and combines hands-on observation, focused discussions, and exposure to innovative technologies used in spine surgery. Funding is valued at up to €5,500 per fellow, subject to EUROSPINE reimbursement policies. Funding covers self-arranged travel and accommodation. All Fellows are required to register for the Annual Meeting, Pre-Day Course, and networking events, which will be reimbursed from the allocated funding.
