Externe Stipendien und Grants

Durch die Mittel des Helmut-Hartweg-Fonds gewährt die SAMW Ärztinnen und Ärzten personenbezogene Stipendien für die wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung im Gebiet der medizinischen Radiologie.

Die Stipendien ermöglichen jungen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, die eine akademische Laufbahn in der Schweiz einschlagen wollen, einen Forschungsaufenthalt im Ausland, wo sie ihre Kenntnisse vertiefen und ihr wissenschaftliches Profil verbessern können.

The WFNRS is pleased to announce its Travelling Grants for attending major Neuroradiological meetings, including ASNR (every year), ESNR (every year), AOSNR (every two years), and Symposium Neuroradiologicum (every four years).

This fellowship intends to foster the development of young and in-training neuroradiologists in the field of both diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology by supporting their attendance at major neuroradiological meetings organized by ESNR, ASNR, AONRS and WFNRS.

The WFNRS will support six travelling grants every year of up to $2,000 each with the following distribution in 2025:

• Two fellowship grants to ASNR25 (May 17 - 21, 2025, Philadelphia, PA, USA
• Two fellowship grants to ESNR25 (September 17 - 21, 2025, Istanbul, Turkey)*
• Two fellowship grants to AOSNR25 (September 17 - 21, 2025, Istanbul, Turkey)*

*ESNR25 and AOSNR25 is a joint meeting in Turkey in 2025.

WFNRS is now accepting applications for its two travel grants to ASNR25. The deadline for submission to apply for one of the two grants to ASNR25 is Monday, February 17th, 2025.

The European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT) offers a fellowship and observership programme, exclusively for ESMINT members. The programme is for physicians wishing to obtain competence in Acute Ischemic Stroke Interventions (AISI) as defined by the European Board of Neurointervention (EBNI). The goal of the programme is to train young neurointerventionalists in stroke procedures by offering financial support for them to join an INR training center.

By the end of the training period, trainees should have performed at least 25 stroke procedures as first operator, and be able to manage clinically and endovascularly the vast majority of the stroke cases referred to their own centre.

The programme consists of:

• A 1-year training at one of the designated centres (see below), financially supported by ESMINT.
• Fellows are also offered complimentary registration to the online EXMINT course and invited to join  our e-Fellowship programme. These are not compulsory, but both are strongly recommended.
• A series of lectures on the basics of neurointerventions by well-known neurointerventionalists was planned for ESMINT Fellows starting in 2024.
• ESMINT fellows will also receive a free registration to the ESMINT Congress.

Applications for the seventh edition of the programme are open. The deadline for applications is 23:59 CEST on 31 March 2025.
