Bursaries

Symposium Mammographicum offers three types of bursary:

Bursary A

To facilitate study by an observational or clinical attachment in a specialist training centre in the United Kingdom over a period of one or two weeks.

Bursary B

To facilitate attendance at a Symposium Mammographicum conference. Invitations for the 2023 conference in Glasgow are closed but applications are are welcome for the next event, which is scheduled to take place in 2025.

Bursary C

To facilitate travel to countries with less well-developed breast screening and imaging services than the UK, to deliver education or consultancy to support the development of such services.

For more information and eligibility to apply, please click on the criteria below.

In all cases proof of purchase of travel tickets and confirmation of hotel or other accommodation booked will be required. In the case of Bursary A proof of training fees will also be required. The bursaries will not be paid into the successful applicant’s bank account until either the course is completed or the conference has taken place. You must therefore be able to provide the necessary funds to support yourself while in the United Kingdom and bursary fees will only be transferred into a recognised bank account on presentation of receipts.

The closing date for bursaries for the 2023 conference was 25 November 2022.  The charity has received a high degree of interest for previous events. Applications after this date will not be considered.

As funding is a limited all applications will be welcomed for the next conference due to take place in 2025. Trustees will consider all applications in one batch at its December 2024 meeting to ensure all applications can be considered as fairly as possible. The closing date for applications will be 20 November 2024.
