Regarding the call for scholarship applications for postgraduate studies abroad in surgical and medical retina during the 2020–2021 academic year, we would like to announce that, following the application deadline and a detailed review of the candidates’ supporting documents, the Hellenic Vitreoretinal Society unanimously decided to approve their applications.

The successful candidates, in alphabetical order, are:

Asterios Diafas
Nikolaos Mamas
Andromachi Rapanou

Monthly payments of €500 per recipient will commence in January 2021. In addition to the payment for January, the first instalment will include any retroactive amounts due for a period in 2020 during which a recipient is officially confirmed to have begun their postgraduate programme.

Payments will then be made monthly for one year. Every three months, recipients must submit an updated certificate to the Society confirming their continued participation in the postgraduate programme.
