AWTRS TRAVEL AWARDS 2020
The AWTRS has established a scheme to assist AWTRS members in presenting at an international wound and/or tissue repair meeting.
Nature of the Support
The AWTRS Committee will set the amount of funding each year depending on society finances so the total amount available may vary from year to year. In 2020 we have $2000 available in total to be awarded in grants. The two grants of $1000 will be awarded for attendance at an international conference. Moneys can only be spent on travel to the conference, accommodation and registration.
