First-ever APAO Young Ophthalmologists Travel Grants
To celebrate the diamond jubilee 60th anniversary of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology and to support young ophthalmologists attending the 35th APAO Congress, for the first time in history, the APAO is launching its Young Ophthalmologists Travel Grants to up to five residents in training or fellows in the Asia-Pacific region. Each successful applicant will receive US$1,000 if they live outside the host country of the 35th APAO Congress, which is China, whereas those who live in the host country will receive US$300.
Priority will be given to residents and trainees from a developing country whose presentations (free paper, poster or video) have been accepted by the Scientific Program Committee of the 35th APAO Congress. An identification letter from the training or program director for the resident or fellow must be produced should the applicant be selected for a grant.
Interested delegates should complete the online application available on the congress system before Oct. 31. Selection results will be announced by January 2020.
