Dear National Focal Point for Training,

Re: Call for expression of interest to the Member States for hosting one or 
more fellows (EPIET and/or EUPHEM) in Cohort 2026 of the ECDC Fellowship 
Programme, under the EU-track and/or the MS-track.

The ECDC Fellowship Programme is part of the Centre’s efforts to strengthen 
the public health workforce in the European Union and based on the 
contribution of the EU/EEA Member States in terms of training resources.

As the selection process for cohort 2026 of the ECDC Fellowship begins, we 
are contacting you to request your expressions of interest for hosting 
fellows under both the EU-track and MS-track, in the EPIET and/or EUPHEM 
paths. We kindly ask you to indicate how many fellows you are willing and 
able to train in your Member State.

Please use “Section A” of the online form below to express your interest in 
hosting EU-track and/or MS-track fellows that you would like to train in 
Cohort 2026.

Cohort 2026 fellows will be placed in one of the EPIET or EUPHEM 
acknowledged training sites (see Appendix 1).

Should your Member State wish to have a training site appraised for the 
purpose of hosting a future EPIET or EUPHEM fellow, please inform us by 
completing “Section B” of the Response Form. Upon receipt of your official 
EoI, we will schedule a site appraisal and initiate the induction activities 
to prepare the potential training site and supervisor(s) for Cohort 2026 and 
beyond.

Please see the practical details and requirements for a training site 
appraisal in the 
<https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/ecdc-fellowship-programme-manual-cohort-2022> 
ECDC Fellowship Manual – Annex 09A and 09B.

Additionally, a general requirement for hosting EU-track fellows is that the 
training site has a signed “Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) on hosting 
fellows” with ECDC—either newly established or already in place. The process 
for establishing new FPAs is expected to begin in early 2026.

We kindly ask you to distribute this call, collect, and submit Expressions 
of Interest from all training sites in your member state to safeguard their 
chances to receive a fellow.

If you are not interested in hosting a fellow in Cohort 2026, we would 
highly appreciate if you let us know by using the same form.

 <https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EoI_HostingFellows_C2026> Please 
click here to go to the response form.

The deadline for submitting your Expression of Interest is December 01, 
2025.

The results of the allocation of seats will be announced early in January 
2026.

Member States expressing interest in hosting an MS-track fellow will be 
invited to submit candidate applications by March 2026. We strongly 
recommend beginning to start identifying suitable candidates as early as 
possible.

For any questions, please contact us at: [email-masked] 
<mailto:[email-masked]> .

We look forward to hearing from you.

With best regards,

Adam Roth,

Head of Section ECDC Fellowship Programme
