ECTRIMS is pleased to announce its Research Fellowship Exchange Programme competition for the coming year.
The fellowship is offered to young European postdoctoral neuroscientists (MD, PhD, ScD or equivalent) to facilitate their conduct of and training in basic, clinical or applied research related to MS in European laboratories or clinics. The goal is to maximize exchange of information and help grow the pool of well-trained scientists focused on MS.
ECTRIMS will support up to two fellowships annually, each with duration of 1 or 2 years, with an annual stipend of up to €40,000 - €50,000, depending on the candidate’s degree. Fellows are expected to identify a European research training environment and mentor prior to application and to devote full-time to research and research training during their fellowship period (up to 10% time and effort can be spent on teaching and/or clinical care).

Not all centers have the facilities to train young neurologists adequately in their area of interest, so the trainee may have to spend time in another country. One of the EAYNT's priorities is to help interested trainees to find a specialised training center in their subspeciality.
Have a look at the OFTEN programme.
The Diploma in clinical neurology is a unique specialist course and receives wide recognition in the UK and overseas. This is for doctors intending to practice Clinical Neurology. The candidates for this qualification must have at least one year's experience in neurology. The course commences in October each year and extends to the end of March, having a duration of six months.
Free applications, accompanied by a structured curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a letter of recommendation. Note: remember to specify which of the two courses you apply for.
Both courses are supervised by the following persons:
Prof. Simon Shorvon, The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen SquareLondon WC1N 3BG, United Kingdom
Daniela Warr: Education Unit, Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, United Kingdom.
