Professor Tielen Foundation (PTF)
The X Congress on Animal Hygiene in 2000 in Maastricht, the Netherlands was organised by Prof Martin Tielen from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Utrecht. The organising committee of Maastricht founded the “Prof Tielen Fund-Foundation” (PTF) to dedicate to the purpose that young scientists from developing countries could get a grant for financial support to attend the congress.
After this Congress, the PTF continued to collect money from individual veterinarians and companies to support young scientists for the following ISAH congresses. The PTF is endorsed by known international companies and supported by some smaller individual contributions. We are currently looking for new sponsors to keep the foundation viable for the long term.
In that way, the PTF supported the last 9 congresses of 148 young scientists from over 28 developing countries for a total amount of above €120,000.
