Scholars participate in ongoing research projects and are encouraged to apply for grants for their own initiatives. We also aim to foster future collaboration between centers.

Basic language skills in German are required and skills higher than basic are an advantage. The lectures, classes and/or courses the Scholar can attend will be held in German and English.

We aim to organize an attractive and practically oriented program for the visiting Scholars. Scholars will be able to participate in all aspects of implant-based care. Scholars will work in a team environment under the direction and constant supervision of the Scholarship Center faculty and may be involved in conducting research.

As treatment planning and the ensuing dental rehabilitation of patients is in most cases an interdisciplinary undertaking together with other divisions as well as external dentists or by the division alone, ITI Scholars will get valuable insight into different types of collaboration.

Scholars will be fully integrated guests of our division and be involved in post-graduate courses consisting of theory sessions and hands-on cadaver courses held and organized several times a year.
In order to extend their scientific activities, we encourage ITI Scholars to get involved in new or active scientific projects in our division. In this way, Scholars can integrate themselves further into the division’s agenda and continue to develop their own scientific career and network.

We highly encourage colleagues to apply for an ITI Scholarship at our Center and we promise to do our best to make this year a valuable and unforgettable experience in the career of ITI Scholars.

We strongly advise you to consider cost of living (housing/rent, food, transportation, etc.) in the city of this ITI Scholarship Center, as certain destinations can be very expensive. It is essential to understand that the ITI scholarship stipend does not cover all living expenses but only contributes to these. Therefore, make sure you are fully aware of the cost of living in the city of this Scholarship Center if you consider applying for it. You must be prepared to co-finance the cost of living out of your own pocket. The ITI cannot provide additional funding during the scholarship year.
