The ISCLR offers student grants to enable graduate students, post-doctoral
students and clinical residents to attend the Nineteenth Symposium. Grants
cover the lowest economy return airfare and twin share accommodation for
six nights (Saturday to Thursday).
The submitted abstract should contain original work not presented elsewhere. The deadline for submissions is usually March in the year of the scientific meeting.
Successful students are generally requested to present a five minute
presentation and a poster of their work. They will also be expected
to participate in relevant discussion periods. Successful students will also
be asked to provide administrative and audio visual support to the Secretariat
at the meeting.
Student grants are intended for those who are actively involved in contact
lens or related areas of research. Applicants must complete the Student Application
Form with appropriate signature(s) from their student advisor,
who should also be a member of ISCLR, and an abstract that should include
purpose, methods, results and conclusions. The abstract should not exceed
one single-spaced typed page.
Please note that posters dimensions are confirmed as the meeting approaches.
