Gylstorff Fund
HistoryThe Gylstorff Fund was founded in 1990 by Prof. Dr. Helga Gerlach in memory of Prof. Dr. Irmgard Gylstorff, the former director of the Institut für Krankheiten des Haus- und Ziergeflügels sowie der Tauben, Wild- und Zoovögel (Institute for Diseases of Poultry and Pet Birds including Pigeons, Wild- and Zoobirds) of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. Prof. Dr. Gylstorff was the first lady in the world to hold a chair in veterinary medicine a and she held the first European chair of an Institute for Avian Diseases, in 1961 at the Tierärztliche Hochschule in Hannover, Germany. The Gylstorff Fund was established as a travel fund for young doctorate or PhD candidates and young scientists or students to learn new scientific methods or to participate in scientific meetings. In principle the Gylstorff Fund partly pays for the travel expenses. The Gylstorff Fund also sponsors the student prize at each European AAV meeting.
Bylaws1. The amount paid out derives exclusively from the interest on the capital. There is no maximum to be paid per person. The money is given absolutely, i.e. it is not a loan. In return the beneficiaries accept the duty to publish a scientific paper on the new knowledge gained or to give a written report of the scientific meeting for the benefit of their colleagues.
2. The Gylstorff Fund is managed by the treasurer of the European Committee of the Association of Avian Veterinarians (EAAV), and applications are sent to her/him. Decisions on the grant to be given and on the amount to be distributed are made by the treasurer and two other board members elected by the EAAV chairperson.
3. The financial basis of the Gylstorff Fund consists of donations, the interest of the EAAV capital, and 10% of the net profit of the EAAV meetings.
The deadline for applications for travel grants to scientific meetings is about 8 weeks before the early registration deadline. Applications for other purposes are always possible. The average amount granted in the past has been 500€ per applicant.
