Deadline for One Health Fellowship applications extended to 1 December 2017

Several early career scientists have informed us that they are unable to submit their research abstract by the 15 October deadline. Submitting an abstract is an essential part of the One Health Fellowship application procedure. The organizers have hence decided to extend the deadline for submission of all required documents to 1 December 2017 (23h59 Central European Time).

The organizers are very pleased to have received so many outstanding entries already. Submitted entries remain valid, and applicants are free to update their submissions until the new deadline of 1 December 2017.

The Call for One Health Fellowship Applications is open to participants from all over the globe. One Health Fellows will receive financial support to cover the registration fee, accommodation for the duration of the conference, and travel (economy class). If you're interested in applying for the One Health Fellowships, check the eligibility and application guidelines and download the application form from the congress website.

Feel free to share this announcement with anyone you think might be interested in applying. Or download and share the One Health Fellowship announcement flyer.
