ECCO fellowships, grants and travel awards Applications
Deadlinefor ECCO FELLOWSHIPS, GRANTS and TRAVEL AWARDS: October 1, 2010
ECCO has established Fellowships, Grants and Travel Awards to encourage young physicians in their career and to promote innovative scientific research in IBD in Europe.
Fellowships are created for young individuals younger than 40 years, who submit an original research project, which they wish to undertake abroad in a European hosting laboratory and/or department who has accepted to host and guide the fellow for the duration of the fellowship (one year) and who is responsible together with the fellow for the successful completion of the project. Fellowships are awarded a total amount of € 30,000.-.
Grantsare created to support good and innovative scientific, translational or clinical research in Europe. The guidelines of ECCO Grants are very similar to those of the Fellowships, with the exception that the research is typically undertaken in the own institution of the applicant. ECCO Grants are awarded € 15,000.- each and will also be given during the ECCO annual congress.
The Travel Awards have been established in 2007 as an opportunity for young investigators to visit different ECCO centres in Europe, to learn scientific techniques or be a clinical observer.
