• Exam – save up to 60% off the ESGO Examination in Gynaecological Oncology – a theoretical evaluation and high-level knowledge assessment that covers the entire subspeciality curriculum of gynaecological oncology.
• Courses – ESGO organises courses at all levels, from basic to advanced, in topics such as robotic surgery, molecular pathology, hands-on training in surgical techniques and prevention – in a range of different formats (in-person, online or hybrid). These courses are offered at a significantly discounted rate for members.

Learn via our member-only training programmes

• Subspeciality Certification – for clinicians seeking to get certified with the ESGO Diploma of European Gynaecological Oncologist.
• Special Interest Training Modules – members can enrol in modules such as Minimal Invasive Surgery (GESEA3 Oncology: Laparoscopy) or Diagnostic and Interventional Ultrasound in Gynae Oncology. Additional modules will be announced throughout 2026.
• Masterclass in Gynaecological Oncology – every two years, ESGO and ENYGO organise a three-day, in-person course that covers the entire curriculum of the gynaecological oncology subspeciality. This course is recommended for every early-career professional, whether a trainee or health care practitioner.
• International Exchange Programmes – as a member, you can apply to take part in a short clinical visit or a longer travelling fellowship in a host institution (accredited in training by ESGO), fostering knowledge sharing and international collaboration.

Grow your network and become a leader

• Networking – membership provides you with unique access to peers – whether it’s at the ESGO Congress, in-person training or online through webinars or via our Membership Directory, there are countless opportunities to connect with the gynaecological oncology community. Early-career gynaecological oncology professionals can join our European Network of Young Gynae Oncologists (ENYGO).
• Mentoring – this programme connects mentors and mentees. Mentors share their expertise while supporting mentees to develop skills, gain guidance, and expand their networks.
• Volunteer – members can get involved in a range of ESGO activities and contribute skills and expertise. We’re always looking for volunteers to be a part of our working groups and committees.
• Leadership – every ESGO full member has voting rights and the ability to self-nominate for formal leadership positions, such as being a member of the ESGO Council and truly influencing the future of the society.
• Endorsed Meetings – as a member, you can have your meeting endorsed by ESGO.
