Have you ever thought about going to another
country to learn about a particular anatomical technique? Or are you
a non-UK member who wished you could come to one of our meetings in
London, or to a two-day autumn meeting in a provincial university?
In June 2006 the Council of the IAS met at
University College, London, for one of our regular meetings where we
discuss all matters concerning the running of the Institute.
One of our aims has always been that we should
try to improve the professional status of our membership and help
with continual professional development in any way we could.
Although we are never going to be a wealthy Institute, we are in a
healthy financial state, and under Any Other Business we discussed
the introduction of a Travel Bursary that was open to ALL paid up
members.
I am delighted to say Council adopted the idea
with very little discussion and we are introducing a Travel Bursary
of £500 that is open to ALL fully paid up members. Members may apply
for all or part of this Bursary to travel to meetings, to attend
training courses etc. The only stipulation is that the successful
applicant(s) write a report on their visit and this report is
published in the IAS Journal or Newsletter.
So come on, start thinking of what you would
like to do and apply!
John Ben F.I.A.S.
