EFPT AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE 2019

Posted on by

Dear colleagues and friends,

The European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees is proud to announce the ninth edition of the “EFPT Award for Excellence”. The award, initiated in 2011, is an annual prize for an excellent and innovative project in the field of psychiatry. These projects do not need to be large or national ventures; small projects that demonstrate innovation will also be considered.

It is important that projects are of current relevance, meaning they have been carried out in a period within the last 2 years, with the involvement of psychiatry trainees. The award is not primarily aimed at projects with predominantly scientific or research orientation, but rather those that have direct relevance to clinical or training activities, or that promote a positive image of psychiatry. Examples of relevant projects include: the organization of local meetings/conferences; projects set up to improve training in psychotherapy or in other areas; publication of informative materials for trainees; or any other project that involves the promotion of training activities. The award winners will be distinguished and will have their work promoted on the EFPT website, social media and newsletter. We encourage you to take a look at the previous winners from EFPT’s website: https://efpt.eu/awards/efpt-award-for-excellence/award-for-excellence-from-previous-years/
