Are you based in Europe and carrying out research or working with patients with Ewing sarcoma? Would you like the opportunity to work in another lab or hospital anywhere in the world?
The EURO EWING Consortium (EEC) is running a call for applications for one or more travel scholarships. The call is open to researchers and health professionals working in Europe on Ewing sarcoma and can be used at any laboratory or hospital in the world. The funding (£4100) has been generously donated by the Associazione Paola per i tumori muscolo-scheletrici charity, through Ornella Gonzato, an EEC patient expert.
If you would like to apply, please see below for more information. The deadline for applications is 31 October 2017 and all visits must be completed by 1 July 2018.
Please send all applications and queries to eec@ucl.ac.uk.
