For the third consecutive year, the Nordic Dermatology Association (NDA) will offer our NDA Research Grant 2022 (80,000 SEK). Applications will be admitted starting on August 15^th, 2022. The grant will be given to one dermatological trainee or either resident or a recently approved specialist in dermatology and venereology (or split between two), working in a Nordic country and who is either a PhD student or a Postdoctoral researcher.

Research projects on dermatological diseases with few funding possibilities and planned Nordic collaboration or mobility involving research visits to another Nordic country are considered advantageous.

The applications will be evaluated by the NDA Research Committee according to their clinical and scientific importance and feasibility.

Applications should be written in English and sent as a single pdf-file including:

• Short CV, including a list of publications (if any).
• Short research plan, maximum 3 pages including references.
• Short description of how the grant will be utilized (budget, and if a plan includes mobility, description of how it will benefit the research project)
• In case of planned mobility, informal invitation letter from the welcoming research group leader

Researchers receiving a NDA Research Grant are expected to provide an update and preliminary results of their research project to the NDA board within one year and will be offered a possibility to present their results in the next NCDV congress.

Applications can be sent between August 15^th and October 16^th, 2022 to: info@nordicdermatology.com.

Dear colleagues and friends,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 35^th Nordic Congress of Dermatology & Venereology, NCDV 2022 in Copenhagen on April 19–22, 2022 to celebrate dermatology and venereology. 

We will celebrate what new things we have discovered together, what we have learned from our discoveries, and what we can achieve together for the benefit of our patients. We will do this through a series of carefully orchestrated symposia, designed to catch your attention and maximize your benefit through didactic design.

For more information, use this link: ncdv2022 – ncdv2022.org

The design-savvy Danish capital offers a wide variety of architecture; from 17th-century buildings to modern architectural landmarks. Experience a maritime and culinary destination with a great atmosphere of coziness. 

We look forward to welcoming you  – in person – to Copenhagen!

The course covers a theoretical review of the basic principles of skin surgery and extensive practical workshops using human cadavers so you will have the opportunity to practice various excision and closure techniques.

Registration is now open for the 7th Nordic Course on Skin Surgery in Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Panum, Copenhagen, Denmark. The course will take place on August 25 – 26.

For the second consecutive year, the Nordic Dermatology Association (NDA) research grant was announced and open for application between Aug 1 and Oct 10, 2021, exclusively for residents or recently approved specialists in dermatology and venereology.

NDA research committee received 11 applications concerning interesting research projects from Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, but none from Norway and Iceland.  All applications were evaluated by the research committee based on their clinical and scientific relevance and feasibility.  

The research projects involved a broad spectrum of topics, but few included Nordic collaboration. Based on the evaluations, the board decided to split the 60,000 SEK research grant between two applicants, who were given 30,000 SEK each:

• Laura Krogh Herlin, Denmark: Ectodermal dysplasia in Denmark
• Sinja Kristiansen, Sweden: HPV in invasive penile cancer and risk factors and treatment for penile intraepithelial neoplasia

All applicants have been given feedback from the committee concerning their research projects and applications.

The NDA board and research committee congratulate the grantees!
