Who is Who at Safety 2004: The International Scholarship Committee

At every World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion, the Organizing Committees award a number of scholarships among the authors of scientific contributions.

The Scholarship Committee reviews and evaluates all of the applications. Priority is given to scholarship applicants from low-income countries. This has now been completed for the 7th World Conference. The Committee consists of recognized experts from all around the world. Each one is designated as expert for the region he or she is working in. The members of the 7th World Conference International Scholarship Committee are:

  • Martine Bantuelle, EducaSanté, Belgium
