To commemorate the
60th Anniversary of APAO, we are launching our first-ever Young
Ophthalmologists Travel Grant to support young ophthalmologists in
the Asia-Pacific region attending the Diamond-jubilee 35th APAO
Congress. Each successful applicant will receive US$1000 if they
live outside the host country of the Congress (i.e. China), whereas
those who live in the host country will receive US$300.
Priority will be
given to Residents and Trainees from a developing country and whose
presentations (free paper, poster or video) have been accepted by
the Scientific Program Committee of the Congress. Identification
letter from the training or program director for the Resident or
Fellow must be produced should the applicant is selected for the
grants.
Interested delegates
please complete the online application via the
Congress System from September 2 to October 31, 2019. Selection
results will be announced by January 2020. |
