Objective: The primary goal of the Congress Bursary is to support young and established pharmacologists from financially restricted environments and who are actively involved in research, to attend and participate in the WCP2014 Congress. A prerequisite is that an applicant has to present (accepted poster or oral presentation) at the Congress.

Funding: All bursaries are subject to availability of earmarked sponsorship (no guarantees). The amount of the bursary will be determined by the judgement of the Bursary Committee, subject to availability of funds and merit, and will include at least a sponsored registration fee.

Application Guidelines: The application deadline is 14 February 2014. Applications are submitted online together with abstract submission on the same web form.

Applications should contain the following:

  1. The submitted abstract(s) for poster or oral presentation.
  2. Short (max. 150 words) motivation for the bursary application, including a summary of current research, financial need and how attending the WCP 2014 Congress will benefit the future academic career.
  3. The applicant's abbreviated curriculum vitae, including an academic record.
  4. A signed supporting letter, on an official institutional letterhead, from the applicant's supervisor/superior, confirming the applicant's current appointment or registration, and activity in pharmacological research.
