An annual Travelling Fellowship, up to the value of £5,000 is available by open competition to trainees in the field of transplantation to enable them to broaden their education, and to present and discuss their work overseas.

Candidates must be resident in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, and should be members of the British Transplantation Society. Applicants may be from a laboratory or clinical background. A full Curriculum Vitae should be submitted, giving details of all past and present appointments and publications, together with a detailed account of the proposed programme of travel, costs involved and objectives to be achieved. Shortlisted candidates will be judged by a panel of experts and interviews may be held. The adjudication process will pay particular attention to originality, scope and feasibility of the proposed journey.

After the visit, the winner will be asked to report back to the Society, probably via the newsletter. A critical appraisal of the Centres visited, together with an assessment of how the experience will enhance future personal and professional development, should form the basis of the report.

Applications (10 copies) should be submitted to the BTS Secretariat, by 29th February 2008 at 5pm

FAXED or e-mailed copies will not be accepted.
