Travel Award Contest

Winners Travel Award Contest:

The WACP Board of Directors and the Netherlands Department of Transcultural Psychiatry (of the Netherlands Psychiatric Association) have sponsored WACP members from low and middle-income countries who were planning to give a presentation at the WACP2022 World Congress of Cultural Psychiatry in Rotterdam.

To select awardees, we organized a Travel Award Contest.

Abstracts should be submitted individually to the contest but preference will be given to multi-presenter symposia.

WACP and the Transcultural Psychiatry Department have allocated a total of €20,000 to this contest. Funds may be used to meet the travel costs, hotel and admission fee.

• Marcos de Noronha
