IVC Evidensia Sponsors Travel Scholarships For Students To Attend FECAVA Congress
Tuesday, June 14, 2022
The scholarship aimed to provide students with an early introduction to the format of a veterinary congress and was open to veterinary students in FECAVA countries who were in their final two years at university.
As part of the scholarship, the successful applicants were given access to the congress as student delegates, provided with travel and accommodation expenses, and were invited to several events including a meeting with council members. They were even presented with a souvenir of Prague; a figure of Krtek, the little mole who is a hugely popular Czech animated icon.
The congress, which is held annually at Prague Congress Centre, had a packed schedule of speakers from across the globe. The lectures and workshops were across a broad range of subjects including endocrinology, neurology, oncology and surgery, providing the students with an opportunity to learn from experts in their individual fields.
Our successful scholars
Successful applicants hailed from across Europe and had all applied to get a spot at FECAVA by writing a motivation letter accompanying their CV and proof of student status.
Amanda Boag, Chief Medical Officer at IVC Evidensia said:
“Veterinary congresses are an exciting, important and fun part of the development of every veterinary surgeon’s career, so I am delighted we’ve been able to give these 10 deserving students the opportunity to attend FECAVA and enjoy what is a fantastic European congress.
“We were overwhelmed with the entries we received and the 10 successful applicants had some great motivations to attend. I hope they’ve all had a fabulous time and enjoyed the programme”
