Scientific training bursaries

 

Every year, in spring and autumn, EULAR awards up to 10 training bursaries to applicants from European countries for clinical or laboratory work (3-6 months) in a unit of another European country. The objective is to improve the standard of research and care and to foster collaboration across rheumatological, clinical and research units in Europe.

 

The amount of the bursary depends of the length of stay and equals EUR 1'000 for travel expenses plus EUR 1'000 per month of stay (maximum amount of EUR 7'000).

 

Only persons who work predominantly in the field of rheumatology are eligible for training bursaries. The age of the candidate should not exceed 40 years. Bursaries will not be made if the applicant is already abroad in training.

 

Recipients are asked to submit both a midterm report as well as a final report to the EULAR Secretariat, focusing on the results they have achieved during their training. Based on their final report, participants may

be given the chance to present their results in an abstract presentation at the next EULAR Congress.

 

To apply, send your complete application in electronic form to the EULAR Secretariat at gabriela.kluge@eular.org.
