Department - Department Co-operation Programme
On the initiative of the European Co-operation Committee, the EFNS launched the project "Department to Department Co-operation" in 2001. Since then, the participants have highly appreciated these training activities. A positive evaluation has also been expressed by the heads of the hosting departments. The project has allowed a number of East European Neurologists to visit Western departments, the statistics being: year 2001: 21; 2002: 27; 2003: 40; 2004: 66; 2005: 66; 2006: 66; 2007: 53; 2008: 53.
Therefore, the EFNS Management Committee has decided to increase the grants to 1500 € plus travel expenses up to € 300 (Note: € 300.- will only be paid after receipt of your final report), and to honour 80 applicants each year. The purpose of this award is to support the accommodation and board expenses in the city of practice. The grant is supposed to allow for a visit of a duration up to six weeks. If a participant is able to accept a low budget board, it may be possible to stay longer than six weeks in the hosting department.
Eligible are candidates from all European countries. Applicants must be under the age of 40, fluent in English or in the local language. Awardees from previous years are no more qualified.
DEADLINE for applications for the year 2011 is November 30, 2010.
