Over three packed weeks, our selected fellows gained hands-on insights during clinical visits to some of Europe's top spine centres, observing robotic and navigation-assisted procedures and exchanging ideas with expert teams across borders. The fellowship wrapped up with with a dynamic week at the EUROSPINE Annual Meeting in Copenhagen, including the Pre-Day Course, where our fellows joined thousands of global experts to explore the latest advances in spine care, innovation, and research. Throughout the programme, fellows reflected on how this experience expanded their view of surgical workflows, technologies, and international collaboration — building connections that go far beyond this fellowship. We would like to spotlight the fellows' visit to Bordeaux, France, where they were warmly welcomed by jc le huec, Thibault Cloché, Nicolas POINTET, Rémi Mariey, and Louis Boissiere across three centres of excellence. As Prof. Le Huec shared: “It was a great honour to host the EUROSPINE Fellows in Bordeaux — a perfect example of how partnerships can create synergies, foster cultural exchange, and advance the future of spine surgery.
