Since January 2018, MedTech Europe regulations have prohibited member companies from directly sponsoring physicians to attend third-party organized educational events.

SITE symposium always seeks Ethical MedTech Compliance on an annual basis.

SITE Barcelona 2025 is now under review. Event code: EMT-24-01020.

The Ethical MedTech Europe SITE 2025 status can be accessed here  https://cvs.solutions.iqvia.com/event/detail/EMT-24-01020.

Restricted educational grants may be provided to conference sponsors to help off-set registration, travel and hotel costs for participants wishing to attend to the congress.

These grants are awarded based on selection criteria set by the industry partners, which may include factors such as your country of residence, institution, profession, specialty, and relevant experience (but not name individual recipients). Successful applicants may receive full or partial coverage for registration fees, travel, and accommodation.

We encourage you to carefully complete this form and provide all required information to support your eligibility and ensure proper consideration. Please note that there are more applicants than available grants and submitting an application does not guarantee that a grant will be awarded.
