Congresses: The Medichem Scholarship
Medichem is concerned to promote the development of occupational health professionals. To this end, scholarships are offered to individuals to present scientific papers at Medichem's Congresses.
A maximum of three Scholarships may be awarded for each Congress.
Those who wish to be considered for the award of a Scholarship should notify the Scientific Committee of the Congress that they wish to apply when they submit the abstracts of their presentations. Scholarships are available to Medichem members and non-members alike.
The Scientific Committee of the Congress will rank the accepted abstracts according to their scientific value and notify the Chairman of Medichem. The Chairman, in consultation with the Board members, will award the scholarship(s) according to the following criteria:
- scientific value
- career development
- personal circumstances
- previous receipt of a Medichem Scholarship
An award up to USD 2,500 will be made to a maximum of 3 successful applicants to assist with travel and associated meeting costs, such as airfare, registration or accommodations.
Receipt of Medichem Scholarship will be acknowledged at the Congress and in the subsequent abstract publications. A list of recipients will be published in the Medichem Handbook.
