Tournament for Neurologists in Training

A tournament for neurologists in training will take place at the congress. The tournament will be carried out in two groups, one on clinical related research, and one on basic neurological science. 
 

• Participation
  Eligible are EAN Resident and Research Members from EAN member countries. For further information, please check our EAN RRFS membership package here. The participant has to be first author of the abstract submitted. During abstract submission, candidates must state that they wish to participate in the tournament and select the group (clinical/basic).
  Applications will be accepted until the abstract submission deadline, i.e. 13 January 2021.
• Selection of candidates
  The EAN Programme Committee selects 6 candidates for each tournament group based on the contents of the abstracts submitted. The clinical subjects must be received from authors who work in Europe and thus carry out their projects in Europe. For the basic science session, clinical relevance will be weighted.
• Financial support
  Candidates selected for the tournament have received a bursary consisting of free registration to the Congress, up to four nights hotel accommodation, and a travel grant. 
• Presentation
  Each selected candidate is allotted 10 minutes for presentation of his/her paper plus five minutes for discussion with the jury. 
• Jury
  Members of the Programme, the Scientific and the Teaching Course Committees. 
• Evaluation
  Candidates will be judged not only on the scientific value of the work presented, but also on the quality of the oral presentation and the way the candidate responds to the questions of the jury.
• Prize
  The winner of each group will receive a prize consisting of: Free registration at the 7th EAN Congress in Vienna 2021, up to four nights hotel accommodation as well as a travel grant and a certificate. The prize is not transferable and will not be paid off in cash.
  Two runner-up prizes in each, the clinical and basic tournament will be awarded. They will consist of a certificate and a free registration to the 7th EAN Congress in Vienna 2021.
