Partner with FESSH – Shaping the Future of Hand Surgery in Europe
About FESSH
Since 1990, the Federation of European Societies for Surgery of the Hand (FESSH) has represented hand surgeons across Europe, with a mission to advance the specialty through education, training, research, and collaboration.
FESSH developed the official European Hand Surgery Curriculum, endorsed by UEMS in 2010, and remains the sole provider of the EBHS Diploma examination. The prestigious Journal of Hand Surgery (Eur) is the official journal of FESSH.
Our Educational Role
Through the FESSH Academy and Congress, we deliver high-quality educational programmes across Europe, including:
- Hands-on foundation and advanced courses
- Webinars and online assessments
- Trainee support via YEHS
- Skills-based workshops at the annual FESSH Congress
These activities require investment in expert faculty, equipment, and infrastructure — creating valuable opportunities for industry engagement.
A New Approach to Partnership
FESSH is now expanding beyond traditional congress sponsorship to build long-term, strategic partnerships with key industry stakeholders.

All packages are flexible and can be refined in consultation with your team to align with your goals and our shared mission.
