ESTRO Mobility Grants - TTG (deadline 31 March 2010)
ESRO also offers a number of mobility grants to ESTRO members, wishing to learn a specific technique or methodology important for their clinical practice or their research project. These "Technology Transfer Grants" (TTG) may be used for short visits (1 to 3 weeks) to another institute where the expertise exists.
The ESTRO TTG will cover all mobility costs (travel + accommodation) established on the basis of a realistic budget, but will not provide a salary. The average total amount will be about €1,500-2,000. The budget is to be submitted together with a recommendation letter from the department head and an invitation letter from the host institute.
SELECTION CRITERIA
These grants are meant for Clinicians, physicists, biologists, scientists and RTT’s, working or studying in Europe and being an ESTRO member.
The candidate should submit the following documents:
- a short, very clear description of her/his project & the aim of her/his visit to another department
- a letter of agreement from her/his department head, supporting the project and visit
- a letter from the hosting department head, stating acceptance and support of the project and visit
- a short curriculum vitae
- an estimate of the expected expenses: travel costs based on the cheapest travel fare available (max €700 will be reimbursed), accommodation costs and a per diem appropriate for the venue/country visited
- a 2-page report within one month after the stay
The TTG Application Form should be used to provide this information to viviane.vanegten@estro.org
The length of the stay will normally be between 1 and 3 weeks but exceptions can be granted.
