IHS – Short Stay Scholarships
Initiative for Improving Headache Practice, Research and Education in Developing Countries
The IHS Board of Trustees, together with the IHS Juniors Group, welcomes applications for the IHS developing countries project: Initiative for Improving Headache Practice, Research and Education in Developing Countries. This initiative addresses the need for essential and improved clinics, research and education about headaches and their treatment in developing countries. The aim of the programme is to increase transnational mobility of young researchers living in developing countries (please see list) by providing grants for short, goal-directed stays in headache research centres and clinics.
The Short Stay Scholarships are offered to young researchers from developing countries to fund visits to research institutions in the country/region where the International Headache Congress (IHC) will be held. The duration of such visits should be a maximum of six (6) weeks, immediately before, during and/or after the IHC. The scholarships offer funding of up to € 6,000 to cover travel and living expenses. Scholars will also receive free registration to the IHC and a free teaching course.
For 2019 funding is available for three (3) scholarships in locations close to the IHC (Dublin, Ireland). Centre details to follow.
