Young Scientists' Support
Prof. Tielen Foundation supports again young scientists from developing countries to participate in the XIII Congress in Animal Hygiene in TARTU, Estonia.
One of the special activities of the organising committee of the Xth Congress on Animal Hygiene in 2000 in Maastricht was that for the first time young scientists from developing countries could get a grant for financial support to attend the congress. The organising committee of Maastricht founded the “Prof. Tielen Foundation (PTF)” to dedicate to this purpose and was very successful.
After the congress the PTF continued to collect money from individual veterinarians and companies to support young scientists in the next congresses also.
On that way the PTF supported in the last 3 congresses all together 55 young scientists from over 20 different developing countries for a total amount of € 51500.00. In the last congress in September 2005 in Warsaw the PTF supported 15 young scientists from 13 different countries.
The Board of the PTF decided to open again the opportunity for young scientists in the developing countries to apply for a grant to attend the XIII congress of the ISAH from 17-21 June 2007 in Tartu in Estonia.
We will use the same design for the application for this financial support as used for in the former congresses.
So for the XIII congress in Tartu young scientist in the East European Countries can apply for a support of a maximum of 400 Euro for the congress fee and a part of the lodging costs. The young scientist from developing countries “over seas” can apply for an additional contribution in the travel costs with a maximum of 500 Euro.
The conditions are as follows:
- Only young scientists of developing countries (South America, Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe) can opt for financial support.
- The applicant has to be no more then 35 years of age.
- The young scientist has to present a paper or poster with sufficient scientific quality on the congress.
- The young scientists has no opportunity to find financial support by other sources
- All applications are pre-selected by the country representative of the ISAH in the country of origin. There may be more then one application submitted, however in principle only one will be selected per country for the grant by the Board of the PTF.
- There will be only one young scientist awarded per country
- Country representatives can ask for application forms by e-mail to the Prof. Tielen Foundation (e-mail: martiel@planet.nl or fax: +31 411 672852)
- Completed Application Forms from the young scientist should be sent by e-mail together with a copy of the submitted abstract for the congress to Prof. Tielen (e-mail: martiel@planet.nl) or faxed to the PTF-secretariat:

Fax: * 31 492 351484
- The deadline for the PTF-applications is January 1, 2007. Selection of the applications will be carried out by the Board of the PTF in the Netherlands. The Board of the PTF makes the final decision before March 1, 2007.
- Payment of the promised financial support will take place at the venue of the congress in Tartu after handing in the registration confirmation and the travel tickets.
The PTF expect that it will be able to support about 15 young scientists for participation in the congress under the mentioned conditions. Applications will be handled in order of reception. In cases of equal capability the order of reception will determine the final decision.
We hope that we can stimulate the attendance of young scientists and realise in that way a contribution to the development of this young scientist in Animal Hygiene and enhance the exchange of scientific knowledge between scientists within our Society of Animal Hygiene.
