The 5th International One Health Congress offers early career scientists a unique opportunity to present their latest work, and to meet and foster collaborations with the international One Health community in a four days high-level congress. The Open Call for Congress Fellowship Applications has been launched on 1 August 2017. The competition is open to participants from all over the globe. To be eligible,
however, applicants must:
– be senior PhD students (expected to complete their dissertations within a year of the Congress) or must hold a PhD or a clinical qualification for no longer than 3 years at the time of the application. Special considerations (e.g. maternity/paternity leave)
will be taken into account.
– submit the completed One Health Fellowship Fund Application Form, a proof of status (on institution’s letterhead from a faculty member or Department Head) and a research abstract (either as an author or a co-author). Their research must focus on one of the congress main programme themes:
• Pathogen discovery
• Drivers for emerging diseases
• Diagnostics and syndrome surveillance
• Pathogenesis
• Ecology
• Underprivileged communities
• Vaccines
• Intervention strategies
• Politics and social science
• Antimicrobial resistance
Application forms, proofs of status and research abstracts must be e-mailed to the OHP’s management, Mr. David De Pooter at d.depooter@onehealthplatform.com by 1 December 2017. All applications will be judged by an International Evaluation Committee of One Health
experts. Applicants will be notified of acceptance/rejection no later than 15 December 2017. Important notice: Fellowship applicants who wish to qualify for an oral or poster presentation during the congress will still need to submit their research abstract via the online submission system as of 2 November 2017 (submission deadline: 15 February 2018)
