Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce that the CSI Foundation is able to
give out a limited number of educational grants to young fellows
from Africa. Recipients of the grant will get free access to CSI
Africa 2016 in Kampala, Uganda on November 25-26.
This will be an opportunity for young physicians to get an
overview of the most important catheter therapies of congenital,
structural and valvar heart interventions. The educational grant
will enable young professionals to network with experienced
colleagues from the continent as well as the international faculty
of CSI. After the conference all attendees will be invited to join
the CSI Africa mailing list - a great tool to stay in touch and
exchange ideas and experiences.
If you would like to apply for the grant, please send your CV
to
s.kolkova@cme4u.orgby Monday, October 24, 2016. We look
forward to seeing you in Kampala!
Shakeel A. Qureshi, Horst Sievert, Sulaiman Lubega
