Action: EUROCHIP sponsors
educational activity
One junior researcher from the Cancer Registry
of each one of the Eastern European Candidate&Member Countries
is being offered participation to the Course: "Cancer
survival: principles, methods and applications", at the
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on 3rd -7th April
2006.
This initiative brings statistical and epidemiological education
in Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania,
Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic, thus contributing to the improvement
of cancer control and the study of differences in care across Europe
.
Thanks to EUROCHIP strong determination to save money on travelling
in the past by encouraging the use of Low Cost Airlines when organising
EUROCHIP Meetings, a sum of 15.000 EUROS turned available for this
important ACTION and the allocation was authorised by the European
Commission.
EUROCHIP covered the Subscription fees, plus travelling costs
for 10 researchers.
For a number of researchers who requested extra sponsoring, costs
of accomodation and meals will be covered by a number of Foundations
and Charities from all over Europe.
We thank deeply everyone who has helped us organizing this, everyone
who has accepted to travel low cost in the past, the EC for supporting
the principle of fraternity behind this effort and all sponsors
who made possible that all Eastern European Countries could be involved.
