FECAVA Laboklin Travel Scholarship initiative supports the appreciation of varying cultures by enabling groups of practicing small animal veterinary surgeons, from different parts of Europe, to visit each other for a few days and observe each other’s practice experience. Ideally, they will also be able to participate in a joint Continuous Education event.
The scholarship, totaling €2,000 per year and administered by FECAVA, will support the exchange visits between the two groups selected each year. This is made possible through the generous support of LABOKLIN, who partners FECAVA in this project.
The deadline for applications for visits in 2020/21 is 1st July 2020 for individual applications and 1st August 2020 for joint applications.
The recipients of the Scholarship will be announced at WSAVA/FECAVA/PSAVA Congress in September in Warsaw, Poland.
