In 1986 Ole Rafaelsen and William Bunney were instrumental in establishing a CINP programme supporting the attendance of young scientists at the XVth CINP Congress in 1986. That programme was posthumously named the Rafaelsen Fellowship Award to honor Dr. Rafaelsen, who died in 1987.
The recipients of the award will be chosen by an international scientific jury. A number of awardees will be selected and presented with awards consisting of round trip economy air travel, up to four night’s accommodation, a certificate, a cash stipend including an element for ground transportation and waived registration fees at the next World Congress. The selected recipients may also have the opportunity to present their poster as part of a Rafaelsen Young Investigators Travel Award Winners session under a new initiative within CINP.
