Education
Sharing knowledge
Innovation is not Théa’s only priority. Education and the sharing of knowledge have always been an important tradition for the Chibret family. Théa supports many projects and pedagogical activities.
Because medical practices are permanently evolving, Théa supports European and international training schemes to encourage excellence and enable young doctors to use the most recent developments in ophthalmological knowledge to prevent and treat eye diseases.
Because tomorrow’s scientific progress is in the hands of today’s young generations, Théa awards young researchers in the field of ophthalmology who show initiative, creativity and imagination and contributes to disseminating their work throughout the international scientific community.
Education European Board of Ophthalmology (E.B.O.)
The E.B.O. (European Board of ophthalmology) was set up to homogenise
ophthalmological practices in Europe and bring them up to the highest
standards by awarding a European diploma. Each year many young
ophthalmologists take this exam which is held during the annual congress
of the S.F.O. (French Society of Ophthalmology). In 2015, 641
candidates from 32 different countries got together in Paris to sit this
international exam. Théa has supported this organisation from its
creation.

Education Young Opthalmologists
Since 2014, a group of young doctors have organised the European Meeting of Young Ophthalmologists. Théa has supported this initiative since the first meeting.
Education EVER
Théa is a historical partner of the European Association for Vision and
Eye Research, and of its Foundation. EVER is the leading
ophthalmological research association in Europe. Its annual congress
especially allows young European researchers to expose their work.

Education University
Today, Théa participates as both a founding member and a benefactor in the creation of the first University Foundation in France, set up by the University of Auvergne. Théa’s financial support enables the university to initiate new training and research projects of an international scope: setting up partnerships with foreign universities, sponsoring international doctoral fellowships, hosting highly qualified international professors, providing financial aid to the most promising researchers and arranging exchange programs for researchers.
Education TROPHY
In 2012, Théa launched “TROPHY”, the “Théa euRopean cOntest of clinical
cases in PatHologies of the eYe”. TROPHY is an annual contest which aims
to encourage fellows and residents to actively participate in their
speciality by sharing the results of their clinical cases and their
experience. Due to its success, the contest has been opened to countries
outside Europe and has now become “inteRnational”.
Each year there is a specific theme. Three winners are designated by
experts who deliberate confidentially and objectively, and are invited
by Théa to present their clinical case at the Théa symposium which is
organised alongside the congress.

Education Eye Nutrition Meeting
Set up by Théa in 2015, the Eye Nutrition Meeting is a benchmark
training course in nutrition for European ophthalmologists, aiming to
introduce them to the latest research and findings on nutrition in
age-related macular degeneration.

Théa, Auvergne Üniversitesi ile el ele vererek Clermont-Ferrand›ta bulunan Gabriel-Montpied eğitim hastanesinin göz hastalıkları kliniğine ultra-modern bir cerrahi eğitim aracı kazandırdı.
Bu ortaklık çerçevesinde gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki oftalmologlar Théa Vakfı Üniversitesinde veya Auvergne Vakfı Üniversitesinde ağırlanmaktadır ve yoğunlaştırılmış ileri düzey cerrahi eğitimi almaktadırlar.
Sahra altı Afrika gibi dünyanın belirli alanlarında, 1 milyon kişiye yalnızca bir katarakt cerrahı düştüğünü ve körlüğün sessiz bir trajedi olduğu yerler göz önünde tutulduğunda, bu çok önemli bir katkıdır.
Education Training & the Fondation Théa
One of the two priorities of the Fondation Théa is to enable doctors
and nurses from French-speaking and Portuguese-speaking Africa to follow
training courses either in their own country or in the best French or
international ophthalmological departments, then to put this acquired
experience into practice to directly benefit local populations.
