Giordano Fellowship
The ESP Giordano Fellowship was initiated in 2015. It encompasses a programme for the advanced training in pathology supported by the European Society of Pathology (ESP). The programme follows ESP’s vision for excellence in Pathology for optimal patient care.
Introduction
In recent decades, great advances have been made with respect to the classification of diseases with the use of more sophisticated diagnostic techniques. In consequence, a wide spectrum of diseases may be treated with individualised therapy. Furthermore, many hospitals/departments lack a sufficient number of cases per year in highly specialised fields, so as to allow the pathologist to obtain sufficient training to meet the clinicians’ requirements. Pathologists therefore need in-depth training in many fields of Pathology.
ESP has prepared a programme, the Giordano Fellowship (GF) to support education in highly specialised areas. This programme should help young pathologists to get in-depth experience in ESP Advanced Training Centres (ESP-ATCs) throughout Europe. The fellowship is named after Professor Alfonso Giordano who initiated the foundation of the ESP.

Celebrating 10 years of ESP Giordano Fellowship!
The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the ESP Giordano Fellowship Programme!
During these years, ESP has awarded 125 Fellows to receive training at one of the available ESP-ATCs. The Fellows are from 40 different countries, from Ecuador to Malysia and from Ireland to Ethiopia!
The Fellows are not only trained for their own professional benefit, but also bring back valuable knowledge and experience to their home institutes.
Many of them continue their close collaboration with ESP, mostly via the ESP Alumni programme.
Contributing to the success of this Programme, we would like to acknowledge the valuable support from the currently 36 ESP-ATCs and the Tutors who undertake the education of the Giordano Fellows!
