Regulations
for 2009
Background
The
Continental European Division of the IADR (IADR.CED) offers a Visiting Scholar
Stipend for young investigators. Up to three Stipends at a value of EURO 5000
each will be available for the year 2009. Recipients of this stipend will be
granted this financial support in order to spend 3 to 6 months in a host
research laboratory. The stipend is not limited to any specific field of
research and, hence, is available for all areas of dental and craniofacial
science. Stipends will be awarded in 2009 to be executed in 2010.
Purpose
The
stipend should support young investigators from Eastern Europe or from Turkey to
be trained and to conduct research projects in a collaborating research
laboratory located in the CED area.
