Salus Sanguinis Foundation Fellowships

Salus Sanguinis Foundation fellowship

You will receive a training grant (funding for work and further training abroad) amounting to approximately 1,670 EUR. This will enable you to spend some time at a leading research centre abroad and bring the latest treatment methods for blood cancer back to Belgium. The scholarship runs for up to 1 years and may be renewed once, bringing the total duration to a maximum of 2 years. Previous scholarship holders have undertaken their training in Paris, Lille, Leuven and Sydney. The funding comes from the Salus Sanguinis Foundation, which was established at UCLouvain in 1975. Together with the Saint-Luc University Hospitals, it funds research into blood cancers in children and adults.
