Meeting Announcement

NeuPSIG has provided financial support for Trainees/Fellows to participate in NeuPSIG scientific meetings since its inception and the total budget for this initiative for Athens amounts to €50,000. NeuPSIG Bursaries will be made available on a competitive basis to attend the Athens Congress. The level of support will include payment of the registration fee, accommodation support (four nights at a hotel selected by NeuPSIG or our Professional Conference Organiser, Kenes), and a maximum of €300 (UK/Europe) for €600 (rest of the world) towards travel support and €100 for living expenses. It is obligatory for applicants to be NeuPSIG members (also requires IASP membership) and an author on a Poster to be presented in Athens to be considered for bursary support for the Trainee/Fellows Bursary category.

In addition, the Management Committee recognised that Physicians and Scientists in developing countries do face significant financial impediments to attend international meetings. Moreover, they could gain valuable insights and education from NeuPSIG sponsored scientific meetings that will ultimately help them better diagnose and treat neuropathic pain in patients under their care and/or further their research in this area. Consequently, we have elected to provide a limited number of bursaries for Physicians and Scientists from developing countries under similar conditions detailed above. While preference will be given to applicants presenting a Poster in Athens, this is not essential to be considered for bursary support.

Further information relating to all of these Bursaries can be found on the NeuPSIG
web site (http://www.neupsig.org).
