HCP Scholarships
EADV Symposium 2025

The Healthcare Professional Scholarship supports the participation of trainees or specialists in Dermatology and / or Venereology under 45 years of age to attend the EADV Symposium 2025.

HCP Scholarships are available to applicants worldwide and grant the recipients the EADV Symposium ticket.

Selection criteria

EADV Members and / or abstract submitters for the 2025 Symposium have priority and will be immediately selected on a first-come, first-served basis. This means that the available places might be sold out before the published deadlines.

Applications from candidates who have not submitted an abstract for the 2025 Symposium or who are not EADV members will only be reviewed after the deadline of 31 March 2025, if remaining scholarship slots are still available.

Eligibility terms

  • Must be a HealthCare Provider [See HCP definition]
  • Must be a certified Specialist in Dermatology and/or Venereology or a Resident / Trainee in these fields.
  • Must be under 45 years of age (at the time of the application)
  • Must have adequate knowledge of the English language to follow scientific discussions.
  • EADV will automatically decline all scholarship requests that do not conform to the eligibility terms.

Applicants who have already registered for the event before applying for the HCP Scholarship cannot be taken into consideration, as refunds are not possible. A candidate applying for more than one grant (e.g., EADV Scholarship, etc.) can be selected only once within the same EADV Symposium. Therefore, any other application submitted will be automatically cancelled.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL DEFINITION

Carefully read the description below to ensure you/your delegates comply with the country’s regulations.

EADV Members are not designated as Healthcare Professionals by default

Please, define the correct status (HCP or Non-HCP) during the registration process.

Definition

According to the European Union Directive 2001/83 /EC (and amended version 2010/84/EU), the promotion of prescription only medicines should be directed solely at Healthcare Professionals or any person who is authorised to prescribe or handle them.

As a multidisciplinary audience will be attending the EADV Symposium, the delegates must  indicate if they are Healthcare Professionals (HCP) or Non-Healthcare Professionals (Non-HCP) to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Access to the different areas and sessions of the Symposium depends on the status as Healthcare Professional or as Non-Healthcare Professional. 

The Pharmaceutical Research Based Industry Malta Association (2014) defines HCP as:

Any member of the medical, dental, pharmacy or nursing professions or any other person who in the course of his or her professional activities may prescribe, purchase, supply or administer a medicinal product. “

Industry sessions and advertising

Sections of the code also relevant to a congress held in Malta:

Any such promotional material (excluding promotional aids) is accompanied by a suitable statement indicating countries in which the product is registered and makes clear that the product or use is not registered locally, and any such promotional material which refers to the prescribing information (indications, warnings etc.) authorized in a country or countries where the medicinal product is registered should be accompanied by an explanatory statement indicating that registration conditions differ internationally.

Satellite Symposia presenting data on the development, research or other issues related to prescription medicine can be restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants only upon indication provided by the Industry Session Organizer. All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs only.

Industry Session organisers could limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to the achievement of the intended purpose of the Industry session. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, in particular if not adequately related to the objective and purpose of the session.

The industry session organizer is responsible for the compliance of the session.

Other categories

STUDENTS are NOT considered as Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as NON-HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.

PATIENT ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVES must indicate whether they are Healthcare Professionals or not at registration.
