Annual bursaries for the attendance to the 33rd EFPT Forum Maastricht, 10–14 June 2025

The European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees provides bursaries to support the Forum attendance of participants from European countries, who would otherwise find it financially difficult to attend. The aim of the bursary is to ensure maximum representation of trainees across Europe. The bursaries cover travel and accommodation expenses, up to a maximum of EUR 500.

Eligible National Trainee Association (NTA) will only receive one bursary per NTA. In the event that two or more applicants from the same NTA are successful, it is up to the NTA to distribute the bursary among its successful forum participants.

Only the following European countries that are full member of EFPT are eligible to receive an EFPT travel bursary:

All bursary recipients will have to make their own travel arrangements and claim the reimbursement for these expenses from the EFPT Treasurer. The reimbursement is possible only with the original travel tickets or invoices, which must be send to the treasurer. The EFPT Board of directors will decide upon allocation of the bursaries based on the applicants’ needs and how their objectives align with EFPT.
