ISN travel grant

The ISN will annually award up to 3 grants, each of up to 1500 Swiss Francs, to support visits of neuropathology trainees in developing countries to neuropathology centres of excellence. The primary aim of such visits should be to provide training for the grant recipient and to promote future educational interactions between the host department and that of the trainee. The application, with a brief explanation of the reasons for the visit and intended benefits, should be made by the trainee’s head of department if applicable, or another senior member of staff in his/her institution, and should be accompanied by the applicant’s CV. In addition a letter of support should be sent by the head of the neuropathology department in the host institution. The application, CV and letter of support should be emailed to the Secretary General of the ISN. Applications may be made at any time but awards will be made only in March/April and October/November each year. The funds will be made available through the host institution.

Franz Nissel award

The ISN offers this prestigious award to young investigators (under 35 years of age) at each of the International Congresses. Advertisements will be placed to invite nominations prior to the meetings. The award will cover meeting registration, reasonable travel and accommodation to attend the Congress and the awardee will present his/her work at the meeting.
