Dear colleagues,
After a fruitful discussion with the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), we, AECS, have achieved 10 spots for students at their next congress in Barcelona (September 24th-27th).
The ESOT congress consists on a series of sessions on a wide variety of content related to transplantation and organ donation such as the newest updates in protocols or sharing educational workshops. The fee for non-members of the organization is 950€ but we agreed on having a the whole fee covered in return of delivering a half-time steward service (passing microphones, leading other participants to the rooms, etc.). Meals during the congress and a T-shirt would also be included. Transportation and hosting must be self financed, but AECS can offer some help in the search for affordable options. You can find more information about the congress here.
With this email, we would like to invite all IFMSA members from the European Region to attend the congress. Hereby we open the call for interested people. Please share it among your committees.
If you want to attend this congress, please:
· Fill in this Application Form here
· Do so no later than DEADLINE August 20th, 23:59 GMT.
The selection criteria will be based on IFMSA and topic experience, the potential individual empowerment and expected outcomes (at local, national or international level). The sought AECS/IFMSA ratio is 50/50. The selection process will be shared between AECS and the SCOPH RA for Europe.
All applicants will be informed about the final selection by August 23rd.
