Robert Kerwin International Conference Bursaries

Prof. Robert Kerwin, 1955 - 2007

Professor Rob Kerwin was instrumental in advising, supporting and acting as mentor for numerous people early in their careers in psychopharmacology. To commemorate this, the Council of the British Association for Psychopharmacology introduced annual bursaries in 2008, to be awarded in his name.

The bursaries are available to individuals who are current Members of BAP and have held their membership for a minimum of 6 months. Applicants will be studying for a higher degree (PhD, MD) or will have been awarded such a degree in the last 3 years. Each bursary covers travel expenses and the registration fee for an international conference, together with subsistence. The conference could be held in the UK, but should be international, and will take place between July of the current year and June of the next year.

Bursary recipients are expected to attend the BAP Summer Meeting and also write an article for the BAP Newsletter.

The 2011 Bursaries have been awarded to Samantha McLean (Bradford and Samantha Rushforth (Newcastle).

Apply for the 2012 Bursary.

The deadline for applications is 31st March 2012

2011 BAP Summer Meeting Plenary Session entitled “Mental Health, Neuroscience and the Wellbeing of S on 26th August 2011
A special Plenary Session was held at the recent British Association for Psychopharmacology summer meeting 2011 entitled “Mental Health, Neuroscience and the Wellbeing of Society.” The participants were international leaders in the field of mental health, neuroscience and the wellbeing of society. The BAP was very fortunate to have not only a group of eminent speakers, but also leaders with vision for important new developments in the field. The audience feedback indicated that the talks were outstanding and there was a very high quality of discussion. As a tribute to the excellence of the speakers the audience filled the room and there was standing room only. Due to the importance of the participants’ talks and the demand by the Members of the BAP we have made these recordings available.
