This year the WFN is again able to offer Junior Travelling Fellowships for young neurologists from countries classified by the World Bank as Low or Lower Middle Income, to attend approved international meetings.
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions, we are suspending this years Junior Travelling Fellowships. |
There will be 30 awards; applicants should be neurologists in training or early in their career, have an M.D. degree or equivalent medical degree, hold a post not above that of Associate Professor, and be no older than 45 years of age.
Candidates are asked to send:
It is expected that applicants participate actively in the meeting (e.g., presentation, poster) that they attend. The submission of an abstract is expected. A copy of the abstract should also be included. Preference will be given to candidates who have not previously received an award.
Applications are exclusively submitted using the WFN JTF online application form.
All applications will be reviewed by the Education Committee and the awards will be announced as soon as possible thereafter.
After a successful visit, a report is expected for World Neurology.
Please note: Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously been awarded a Junior Travelling Fellowship. The transfer of a successful grant award to a different Congress is not possible.
With best regards
Steven Lewis
Chair of the Education Committee
