Oehme Travel Grant

The Oehme Travel Grant has been launched for the first time during this edition of the Clinical Oncology Update conference. The grant, funded jointly by the European School of Oncology, Medycyna Praktyczna Publishers and private sponsors from Poland, allowed five oncologists from Central and Eastern Europe to attend the conference.

In 2012, the Oehme Travel Grant has been awarded to:

1. Kostanyan Mher – Armenia
2. Elenao Gorincioi – Moldova
3. Arkadii Grygorian – Ukraine
4. Anton Khorau – Belarus
5. Olexiy Aseyev – Ukraine


At the same time, owing to the generosity of Medycyna Praktyczna, a significant number of oncologists from the Eastern European countries have been granted free registration to the conference.

Fryderyk Teodor Oehme, the patron of the grant, was a Polish surgeon of German origin. In 1773, he performed the first documented mastectomy in a beautiful town of Nieśwież in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (currently Belarus).

The founders of the grant believe that Oehme's achievements in the field of oncology can symbolize the need for multidirectional knowledge transfer between the Central and Eastern European countries. The number of applications from Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Hungary, Latvia, Slovakia, and Georgia is a vivid proof that there exists a need for such initiatives.

The organizers hope that this year's success of the Oehme Travel Grant will be repeated during subsequent editions of the Clinical Oncology Update conference. Meanwhile, the benefactors of the grant and the organizers of the conference are pleased that so many young doctors from the Central and Eastern European countries wish to invest a lot of hard work and spare time for the sake of their patients.
