Excellence Programme




In addition to the Training Course, we want to help students and young scientists from less-favored countries of the Euro-Med Region to attend the Assembly by exempting them of the Registration Fees & Gala Dinner Fees (travel, accommodation and participation to the social programme remain at the participant's charge).
Places being limited in number accordingly to the funds we raised, candidates will be submitted to a selection procedure.

Eligibility conditions

The Programme is open to young scientists in experience or age (under 45) wishing to present their work at the ESC2010. Selection will be essentially carried out on the quality (relevance, interest) of the abstract submitted. Academic excellence is then at the heart of the selection.

Please note that, in case of a tie among applicants (projects of the same quality), applicants from the Middle East and from North Africa will be favored.
In case of inadequate or poor applications, the ESC2010 might not designate any recipient.

Application procedures

To apply to the Excellence Programme, candidates have to provide us with:
- the Application File
- their resume, along with a list of all their publications and articles
- a copy of their last degree
- their abstract
- a letter of recommandation from their professors or fellow scientists
- a letter explaining their motivation
- if still a student, a copy of their student ID, if not a student, a letter of affiliation (headed notepaper) or a copy of their professional card

Candidates are invited to submit any other documents that might be useful.

DEADLINE: APRIL, 25th, 2010

Send all your documents to contact_@_esc2010.eu (remove the underscores)
Do not use the Abstract Submission Tool, send your Abstract by email

Applications received after April 25th or incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Selected candidates will have to provide us shortly a letter certifying that they will not get any other funding or get a refund of their fees for attending the ESC2010 (either from a home institute, Governement etc.)

Applicants will receive an answer around May 15th, 2010.
