This information should be provided with a brief curriculum vitae (max 2 pages). The application for an EACPT Scholarship should be submitted in parallel to the established abstract submission process set up by the local meeting organisers. Application for a EACPT scholarship can also be made by authors who had already submitted an abstract before this announcement.

The successful applicants will be informed by the EACPT secretary two weeks before the deadline of the early bird registration on May 19, 2013 and will receive the scholarships directly at the meeting.

Attached you will also find a final programme and flyer for the EACPT Summer School in Edinburgh. Also attached an invitation to the meeting which contains links to the programme, abstract submission, registration, the flyer, and bursary provision from BPS and EACPT.
