The board of NSSM has the pleasure to invite all professionals in the field of sexology to an interesting afternoon on line.
To achieve the link to the meeting you must register by mail to admin@nssm.dk . Attendance is free – nonmembers are also welcome and hopefully they will be inspired to apply for memberships.

Dicot Travel grant
This travel grant (2 x 8000 SEK) is intended for two researchers in the Nordic countries (Sv, Dk, Fi or No) in sexual medicine to be able to present their research at a scientific congress (ESSM, EAU or equivalent). Applications, in the form of an abstract for the scientific work, are sent to NSSM, which assesses the quality and suitability of the applications. It is not a general travel grant but intended to support researchers in the Nordic countries who need a little help to get out to present their research.
