The European Society for Clinical Investigation is able to invite applications for grants of up to EUR 800 each towards the cost of attending the Society's Annual Scientific meeting. Funds are provided by ESCI.

ESCI was founded in 1967 and is a truly interdisciplinary association of clinicians and basic scientists across Europe working to integrate the different aspects of biomedical research. In the official journal of the society, the European Journal of Clinical Investigation, studies can be published, performed from bench-to-bedside and vice versa, including animal studies relevant to human health and disease. During the three working days planned at the large and central university hospital “Policlinico” and in the Aula Magna, several topics will be addressed by well-known international scientists dealing with the mechanisms of molecular, cellular, endocrine, gastroenterological aspects and their consequences for growth, inflammation, metabolic regulation, and atherosclerosis. Workshops, plenary lectures, and poster exhibitions will guarantee a highly integrated approach throughout the congress dealing also with key aspects on methodology of research. Best contributions in the field of clinical investigation will be acknowledged by poster awards, ESCI awards and the prestigious Albert Struyvenberg Medal 2010. For young scientists from the new European countries, ESCI provides special membership fees and travel grants to attend the annual meeting where it is our aim to pool bench to bedside researchers to focus on the different integrated aspects of Science.
