Applicants must present their project with the name of the institution at which they would like to further their studies.
The Scholarship Awards, set up in the memory of Jorge Oster, a distinguished figure in Argentine economic circles and vice president of Bunge y Born from 1928 to 1949, have a duration of 4 months and cover travel expenses there and back, daily living allowances and health insurance.
A jury of experts will select the proposals with the greatest potential for incorporating and implementing skills, technologies and resources which are currently unavailable in this country and which could be applied to improve the practice of Oncology and the welfare of cancer patients in Argentina.
In the eight contests held so far, sixty professionals from around the country have been selected to receive the Jorge Oster Scholarship Award and have been able to further their studies at renowned research centers in Europe and North America.
