ECTS Eastern European Grants

As a result of the successful congress in Prague in May 2006, The European Calcified Tissue Society, in collaboration with the Czech Society for Metabolic Diseases, provided 3 Research grants for Eastern Europe of 40,000 Euro each.

These grants were intended for PhD students who are resident in Eastern Europe to complete their research projects, either at their home university or abroad, over a period of 2 years.

The following students were successful in gaining one of these grants, and the results and publications are available below.
