(Vienna, 21 December 2023) Jing Ning from MedUni Vienna has been awarded funding by the Scientific Advisory Board of the Austrian Research Foundation for her participation in the world's largest medical imaging conference, the "Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting" in Chicago (USA).
Out of over 11,000 abstracts submitted, Jing Ning's scientific paper qualified for the invitation to the RSNA 2023. Thanks to the "International Communication" research funding programme, she was able to attend the top-class conference organised by the RSNA in the USA.
The "International Communication" research funding programme of the Austrian Research Foundation is an Austria-wide supplement to the financial support options available to universities and project funding institutions for the provision of travel funds for trips abroad. Funding is provided primarily for young scientists whose achievements stand out due to their high quality. Participation in international courses and conferences not only supports young researchers in expanding their knowledge, but also in building networks.
