This award may be used to enable the candidate to visit a centre of excellence for specific training or to attend conferences or meetings other than the SSIEM Symposium. Conferences or meetings should be related to the metabolic field and not industry-organized. For specific training the candidate must make the arrangements with the selected centre and provide confirmation that the centre is able to accept them. The training should be in the field of inborn errors of metabolism. Any reasonable funding request will be considered for training.
For relevant conferences and meetings, funding of up to approximately €1500 (one thousand five hundred Euro) for European candidates, and up to approximately €3000 (three thousand Euro) for candidates outside Europe, will be considered.
For specific training this will be adapted to the characteristics of the training regarding matching the candidate's profile, duration, subsequent implementation and the allocated SSIEM budget.
Any reasonable funding request will be considered for training.
Your application must be supported by a short statement (not more than 500 characters) of why you should be considered for funding. A short CV, supporting letter from your centre and, if applicable, a letter of support from your specific training centre.
We will also ask for the name and e-mail address of your Manager, Head of Department or Supervisor.
If attending a Training Centre please supply the e-mail address of your host Supervisor.
