Financial Support for Conference Attendees
ESCP would like to assist in the education of clinical pharmacists in developing countries. A way of doing this is to make the ESCP congresses more accessible for pharmacists from these countries. ESCP therefore offers financial support, consisting of free registration to the 38th ESCP European Symposium on Clinical Pharmacy. The pharmacist who requests financial assistance should live and work in a developing country. Below you will find a listing of countries not eligible, according to the World Bank list of economies April 2009.
An additional condition is that the applicant must be active in developing clinical pharmacy in his/her country. As this would be difficult to measure, ESCP requests that:
- The pharmacist has an abstract submitted and accepted for presentation at the symposium
- The pharmacist writes a short article on the symposium, which should be published in her/ his national journal. A copy of this publication should be sent to the ESCP International Office
- The pharmacist is interviewed during the symposium and the interview will be edited for publication in the ESCP Newsletter.
In granting financial support, priority will be given to the following applicants:
- ESCP Members, taking into account the duration of their membership
- Applicants whose abstracts have been accepted for presentation as oral communication or poster discussion forum during the symposium
- Applicants with the most experience in clinical pharmacy, which will be determined by the quality of abstract(s) submitted and the applicants' Curriculum Vitae
- Applicants who have not previously received financial support from ESCP
Should you wish to benefit from such support and are able to meet the criteria described above, we invite you to send your financial support request and Curriculum Vitae by e-mail to the ESCP International Office at info@escpweb.org
The deadline to submit financial support applications is 20 September 2009.
