ITI Education Weeks aim at enhancing implant education worldwide through an international network of selected educational institutions.

The Consensus Database contains all currently relevant and valid Consensus Statements and Clinical Recommendations from past ITI Consensus Conferences.

ITI Consensus Conferences take place every 5 years. Preceded by extensive literature research, focus groups of experienced ITI Fellows come together to discuss and agree on the current scientific evidence that forms the basis for the Consensus Statements.

All Consensus Statements are concise summaries of the current evidence about various topics relevant to implant dentistry. The evidence is produced based on a comprehensive investigation of the literature available and expert group consensus.

A systematic and comprehensive search of the literature is conducted. Electronic databases are searched using key terms. Relevant journals are hand-searched to identify additional articles. Additionally, the bibliographies of selected papers and published review articles on the topic are also scanned for relevant publications.

All levels of evidence except for expert opinion are considered to provide a comprehensive search of the literature. Screening of the records is performed independently by the authors of each review paper. Any disagreement between the reviewers is resolved by discussion.

A quality assessment of each included publication is undertaken. For randomized controlled trials and controlled clinical trials, the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias is utilized. Nonrandomized controlled studies are assessed for quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale for Observational Studies.

You can freely use the information contained in this Database if you correctly cite its source.

No, this database only contains a selection of Consensus Statements that are regarded as current and valid. Outdated and superseded Consensus Statements are not included.

ITI Education Weeks offer high quality continuing education courses in implant dentistry aligned to the ITI philosophy of evidence-based treatment approaches. They give practitioners the opportunity to advance their knowledge and skills in implant-related treatment.

The ITI unites people around the world who all share a common goal: to promote and disseminate specialist knowledge. A uniform brand design expresses the team spirit and cooperation shared by these people. Please follow these guidelines whenever creating ITI communications materials.

Please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage for the stipend amounts that apply to the different ITI Scholarship Centers. The stipends reflect the cost of living in the city of the Scholarship Center. 

Yes, ITI Headquarters facilitates connections by sharing details of the previous Scholar who spent time at the Center a Scholar has been allocated to. This allows the Scholar to gather valuable insights and prepare for their new environment as well as the requirements of the Center. 

While ITI Scholarship Centers prioritize a professional environment, language support services are typically left up to the Scholar. Many Scholars take language courses, tutoring sessions, or language exchange programs to aid communication skills prior to and/or during the Scholarship year. Make sure to inform yourself of the Scholarship Center language requirements on the ITI website.

Treating patients during the Scholarship year is not guaranteed for all Scholars. Opportunities for clinical practice depend on various factors, including local regulations, the Scholar’s skill level, and the specific policies of the ITI Scholarship Center. Please refer to the descriptions of the ITI Scholarship Centers on the ITI website for in-depth information on the activities during the Scholarship year.

While we strive to fulfill preferences, securing one of your preferred ITI Scholarship Centers is not guaranteed. With numerous applicants for limited spots, less than 10% of applicants are allocated to their preferred center. It's essential to remain flexible in your selection. Being open to different options enhances your chances of experiencing the program's benefits and furthering your professional development.

The ITI encourages ITI Scholars to continue their engagement with the ITI community beyond their Scholarship year. We anticipate that Scholars will find fulfilling paths within the ITI community, allowing them to further their professional and personal development and contribute to the collective knowledge and exertise of our global network. Furthermore, upon their return to their home Section after the Scholarship year ITI Scholars should contact their Section Leadership Team to get involved in the Section’s activities. 

Scholars should be mindful of potential tax obligations and seek guidance from both local authorities and their Scholarship Center Chair. 

That is left up to the Scholar. The stipend can also be deposited in an account belonging to the Scholar in his or her country of residence. However, we recommend opening an account in the host country in order to avoid bank charges and currency exchange fluctuations. 

For detailed informationon on the currencies, please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage. 

For the Scholarship stipends paid, please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage. 

The stipend is  paid in two installments. The first installment is provided at the beginning of the Scholarship year, once the ITI Scholarship Center Chair confirms the Scholar's arrival at the Center. The second installment is given after six months, following the provision of the the Scholar's intermediate report to ITI Headquarters. The stipend is meant to support the Scholar for expenses such as accommodation and other cost of living and will be transferred to an account held by the ITI Scholar by ITI Headquarters. 

Each year, the ITI offers additional financial aid to a maximum of 5 ITI Scholars who find themselves in hardship and do not have sufficient means to cover their living expenses. To be considered for this support, candidates applying for additional financial aid are requested to provide detailed information about their financial situation, including their own and their parents' circumstances.

No, this is not the case. It contributes toward the cost of living and accommodation during the ITI Scholarship year. We advise applicants to consider their preferred centers/locations carefully, as certain destinations are very expensive. It is essential to understand that the stipend will not cover all the living costs in those locations. We encourage thorough consideration to ensure a comfortable and sustainable experience during the program. 

Treating patients during the Scholarship year is not guaranteed for all Scholars. Opportunities for clinical practice depend on various factors, including local regulations, the Scholar’s skill level, and the specific policies of the ITI Scholarship Center. Please refer to the descriptions of the ITI Scholarship Centers on the ITI website for in-depth information on the activities during the Scholarship year.

Yes. Each ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing his or her own health insurance for the ITI Scholarship year. Additionally, professional liability insurance is crucial and must be covered by the Scholar in order to participate in the program. If no reciprocal arrangement is available between the home country and the ITI Scholarship Center country, the ITI Scholar should take out additional health cover to ensure comprehensive protection during the Scholarship year. Scholars are advised to discuss all matters related to insurance matters with their Scholarship Center Chair right after confirmation of their ITI Scholarship to make sure insurance cover is in place in time for the start of the Scholarship year.

ITI Scholars will be put in contact with previous Scholars at their Center for tips and recommendations as to how to find accommodation. Scholars are also encouraged to to seek guidance from the administrative team/faculty at the Scholarship Center as to finding accommodation. Some Centers might offer on-campus accommodation for Scholars.

The decision to have your partner or family accompany you on your Scholarship year is entirely up to you. However, it's important to note that the stipend provided is intended solely for the living costs of the Scholar and does not extend to accompanying family members. The ITI does not provide additional contributions beyond the stipend itself. The ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing any additional requirements for family members, such as visas, health insurance, and work/practice permits, if applicable.

ITI Scholars are responsible for organizing and paying their travel costs. The ITI Scholarship stipend is transferred only after the ITI Scholar has officially started the ITI Scholarship year – upon confirmation of arrival by the Scholarship Center Chair. Therefore, Scholars need to be prepared to finance the flight to their Scholarship country out of their own pocket.

Scholars are responsible for making their own their travel arrangements.

Yes, each ITI Scholar is expected to start the Scholarship year on September 1 or on the first day of the month on which the Scholarship year starts for those Scholarship Centers with a different start date. The start dates specified in the descriptions of the Scholarship Centers must be adhered to within a two-week timeframe.

The ITI Scholarship year commences September 1 of the year following the application and concludes August 31 of the subsequent year. For instance, if you apply for the Scholarship in June 2025, your Scholarship year will begin September 1, 2026, and conclude August 31, 2027. There are a couple of exceptions to this schedule for specific Scholarship Centers, which are detailed in the respective Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website.

No, there are no restrictions on nationality for applying to the ITI Scholarship Program. The program is open to applicants of all nationalities.

No, ITI membership is non-refundable.

Please refer to the illustration below for the timelines associated with the application and selection process.    

No, do not send any application-related documents to ITI Headquarters. Documents sent by email or regular post will not be accepted. All required information and documents must be submitted through the online application portal. This ensures that the necessary details are correctly processed and reviewed.

Yes. Proficiency in English is important for communicating with ITI Headquarters, Scholarship applications, and within the greater ITI community; however, fluency is not mandatory. Language prerequisites and certification differ among ITI Scholarship Centers, as some Centers may not use English as their main language. Please refer to the specific language requirements on the ITI website.

No, this is not an option as ITI Scholars are expected to dedicate all their time to the ITI Scholarship. Therefore, PhDs must be finalized before the start of the ITI Scholarship. The same applies to other conflicting responsibilities such as functions in your host clinic, Scholarships from other organizations, family commitments in your home country, etc.

Yes, you can apply for an ITI Scholarship while you are still in postgraduate training. However, your postgraduate training must be completed by the start date of your Scholarship year.

Yes, candidates must be 37 years or younger at the time of application. For example, if you turn 38 on or after July 1 of the application year, you are not eligible to apply. Please ensure you meet this age requirement along with all other eligibility criteria outlined on the ITI website.

The selection process for ITI Scholarship recipients is rigorous and thorough. Once the application portal has closed, all submitted applications undergo screening at ITI Headquarters. The ITI Leadership Development Committee then completes a detailed evaluation of each application that meets the application requirements. Applications are assessed based on various criteria, including academic achievements, clinical experience, commitment to implant dentistry, leadership potential, and alignment with the goals of the ITI Scholarship Program. Subsequently, the Committee members convene to discuss the applications and select the potential ITI Scholars for the upcoming Scholarship year. The selection process aims to identify individuals who demonstrate exceptional promise.

Yes, an ITI membership is required for your application and is non-refundable. ITI membership opens doors to a wide range of invaluable benefits designed to support your professional and academic growth.

Engage with the ITI Academy's extensive learning materials, participate in ITI Study Clubs, attend ITI Education Weeks and Section events, develop and strengthen your ties to the ITI community.

The documents below need to be uploaded during the online application process. These documents, except for the picture, must be signed by hand, saved as PDFs, and uploaded to the application profile:

• Two signed letters of recommendation: The recommendations must be recent (year of application) and ideally made by a professor, ITI Fellow, or similar. Please note that only recommendation letters signed by hand will be accepted.

• A picture (passport format - JPG, minimum size 140 x 185 pixels).

• Language certificate (not mandatory in all cases, please see the Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website for more information).

Most ITI Scholarship Centers require non-native English speakers to provide a language proficiency certificate (such as TOEFL or IELTS) before the start of the Scholarship year. Additionally, familiarity with the local language is advantageous and/or required for certain interactions within the center. Specific language requirements for each ITI Scholarship Center are outlined in their respective descriptions on the ITI website.

No, a CV is not required when applying for the ITI Scholarship Program. All the necessary information will be collected during the online application process via the application tool.

Please refer to the illustration below for the timelines associated with the application and selection process.

A letter of recommendation is a letter written and signed by an academic or professional who is familiar with your work and character. This letter should explain why the sender believes you should be awarded an ITI Scholarship and demonstrate their familiarity with your accomplishments, personality, and current aspirations. Ideally, the recommendation letter should be written by a professor, ITI Fellow, or similar authority figure. Please note that the ITI Leadership Development Committee only accepts recommendation letters that have been printed and signed by the supporter before being scanned as PDFs. Electronic signatures are not accepted. Additionally, recommendation letters must be current, dated from the year of application.

We strongly recommend carefully reviewing the Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website to identify the centers that align best with your professional aspirations.

Yes, all attachments must be in English.

The ITI Leadership Development Committee tries to allocate the applicant to one of the three preferred ITI Scholarship Centers listed by the applicant, but it is not always possible. The applicant may be allocated to another ITI Scholarship Center if someone else has already been allocated to the Centers of choice. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high, and candidates selected for an ITI Scholarship are expected to be willing to accept a place at a Scholarship Center that is not one of their three preferred Centers.

The recommendation letters must be hand-signed and dated. Please note that the ITI Leadership Development Committee only accepts recommendation letters that have been printed and signed by the supporter before being scanned as PDFs. Electronic signatures are not accepted. Additionally, recommendation letters must be current, dated from the year of application.

The recommendation letters must be dated from the year of application.

Yes, you do. While you may have a preference for one Scholarship Center, it's essential to select three different preferred ITI Scholarship Centers as allocation to your first choice cannot be guaranteed. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high.

Recommendation letters should be addressed to the ITI Leadership Development Committee at ITI Headquarters in Basel and must be uploaded as a PDF during the online application process when requested. Do not send any separate attachments via email or conventional mail, as these will not be accepted. Additionally, ensure that recommendation letters are hand-signed and dated, and that they are dated from the year of application.

Yes, only applications submitted via the online application portal and by the application deadline (i.e., the closing date and time of the application portal) will be accepted. Applications sent by email or regular post will not be accepted.

Documents must be provided in commonly used formats, such as PDF documents, Excel for financial aid, and JPEG for images. Specific format requirements may vary depending on the function accessed via the application portal, so be sure to check the guidelines provided in the portal.

If you have any questions, please contact ITI Headquarters via email at [email protected]

You can expect to receive notifications about the status of your application according to the following timeline: Usually, the first selected applicants will be informed by the end of January of the year following the application, along with the first round of unsuccessful applicants. The remaining applicants will receive notifications by the end of March. If you have not heard anything by then, this means you are on a contact list for last-minute cancellations. Please note that with hundreds of applications received each year, updates are not provided by ITI Headquarters. All applicants will be notified once their application status has been finalized. This may take until the end of March of the year following the application.

While efforts are made to allocate applicants to one of their preferred ITI Scholarship Centers as indicated in the application, placement is not guaranteed. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high

Please note that as an international organization, Scholars will not be allocated to a center in their current/home country. The aim of the ITI Scholarship program is to provide ITI Scholars with an international experience, fostering international exchange along with professional networking as well as cross-cultural learning.

No, you do not have to complete and submit the online application form in one session. You can save your progress and return to complete and submit the application at a later time. However, be mindful of the deadline and ensure you submit your application before the closing date and time of the application portal. Late applications and/or applications sent by email or regular post will not be accepted. The Scholarship application portal is available on the ITI website from May 31, midnight UTC until June 30, midnight UTC.

The Scholarship application portal is the online platform where applicants can submit their applications for the ITI Scholarship Program. Applicants are guided through the application process step by step, ensuring all required materials are completed and submitted correctly.

If you only receive our newsletters and invitations on an irregular basis, your email provider is most likely temporarily blocking our emails. We send our emails over a management system with an excellent global reputation to avoid such problems as far as possible.

Today most emails are auto-scanned for possible spam content. For example, simple keywords like "tobacco" can trigger the classification of the sending domain as a spam domain and block it for a limited time. In such cases, you will receive emails from the ITI but sometimes they are blocked.

Unfortunately we can not track our emails after they are sent out to your provider's domain. We advise you to contact your provider for more information.

Please check the following points:

1. Are your email settings in your personal profile up to date? Please check if the email address in your account is up to date and is spelled correctly.
2. Did you receive ITI emails lately? If not, please change your email address in your profile settings. Some domain providers are blacklisted. Our provider blocks emails to these providers to protect us from spam replies or malware. Contact your internet service provider to solve this.
3. Are ITI emails in your spam folder?
4. Is your local computer blocking the emails due to strict firewall/virus scan settings or other safety measures. Please check your security settings or contact your local IT service.
5. Did you accidentally unsubscribe from a newsletter you received from ITI.ORG, using the link at the bottom of a newsletter? If you wish to join the mailing list again, contact ITI Headquarters: [email protected].

Please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage for the stipend amounts that apply to the different ITI Scholarship Centers. The stipends reflect the cost of living in the city of the Scholarship Center. 

Yes, ITI Headquarters facilitates connections by sharing details of the previous Scholar who spent time at the Center a Scholar has been allocated to. This allows the Scholar to gather valuable insights and prepare for their new environment as well as the requirements of the Center. 

While ITI Scholarship Centers prioritize a professional environment, language support services are typically left up to the Scholar. Many Scholars take language courses, tutoring sessions, or language exchange programs to aid communication skills prior to and/or during the Scholarship year. Make sure to inform yourself of the Scholarship Center language requirements on the ITI website.

Treating patients during the Scholarship year is not guaranteed for all Scholars. Opportunities for clinical practice depend on various factors, including local regulations, the Scholar’s skill level, and the specific policies of the ITI Scholarship Center. Please refer to the descriptions of the ITI Scholarship Centers on the ITI website for in-depth information on the activities during the Scholarship year.

While we strive to fulfill preferences, securing one of your preferred ITI Scholarship Centers is not guaranteed. With numerous applicants for limited spots, less than 10% of applicants are allocated to their preferred center. It's essential to remain flexible in your selection. Being open to different options enhances your chances of experiencing the program's benefits and furthering your professional development.

The ITI encourages ITI Scholars to continue their engagement with the ITI community beyond their Scholarship year. We anticipate that Scholars will find fulfilling paths within the ITI community, allowing them to further their professional and personal development and contribute to the collective knowledge and exertise of our global network. Furthermore, upon their return to their home Section after the Scholarship year ITI Scholars should contact their Section Leadership Team to get involved in the Section’s activities. 

Scholars should be mindful of potential tax obligations and seek guidance from both local authorities and their Scholarship Center Chair. 

That is left up to the Scholar. The stipend can also be deposited in an account belonging to the Scholar in his or her country of residence. However, we recommend opening an account in the host country in order to avoid bank charges and currency exchange fluctuations. 

For detailed informationon on the currencies, please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage. 

For the Scholarship stipends paid, please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage. 

The stipend is  paid in two installments. The first installment is provided at the beginning of the Scholarship year, once the ITI Scholarship Center Chair confirms the Scholar's arrival at the Center. The second installment is given after six months, following the provision of the the Scholar's intermediate report to ITI Headquarters. The stipend is meant to support the Scholar for expenses such as accommodation and other cost of living and will be transferred to an account held by the ITI Scholar by ITI Headquarters. 

Each year, the ITI offers additional financial aid to a maximum of 5 ITI Scholars who find themselves in hardship and do not have sufficient means to cover their living expenses. To be considered for this support, candidates applying for additional financial aid are requested to provide detailed information about their financial situation, including their own and their parents' circumstances.

No, this is not the case. It contributes toward the cost of living and accommodation during the ITI Scholarship year. We advise applicants to consider their preferred centers/locations carefully, as certain destinations are very expensive. It is essential to understand that the stipend will not cover all the living costs in those locations. We encourage thorough consideration to ensure a comfortable and sustainable experience during the program. 

Treating patients during the Scholarship year is not guaranteed for all Scholars. Opportunities for clinical practice depend on various factors, including local regulations, the Scholar’s skill level, and the specific policies of the ITI Scholarship Center. Please refer to the descriptions of the ITI Scholarship Centers on the ITI website for in-depth information on the activities during the Scholarship year.

Yes. Each ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing his or her own health insurance for the ITI Scholarship year. Additionally, professional liability insurance is crucial and must be covered by the Scholar in order to participate in the program. If no reciprocal arrangement is available between the home country and the ITI Scholarship Center country, the ITI Scholar should take out additional health cover to ensure comprehensive protection during the Scholarship year. Scholars are advised to discuss all matters related to insurance matters with their Scholarship Center Chair right after confirmation of their ITI Scholarship to make sure insurance cover is in place in time for the start of the Scholarship year.

ITI Scholars will be put in contact with previous Scholars at their Center for tips and recommendations as to how to find accommodation. Scholars are also encouraged to to seek guidance from the administrative team/faculty at the Scholarship Center as to finding accommodation. Some Centers might offer on-campus accommodation for Scholars.

The decision to have your partner or family accompany you on your Scholarship year is entirely up to you. However, it's important to note that the stipend provided is intended solely for the living costs of the Scholar and does not extend to accompanying family members. The ITI does not provide additional contributions beyond the stipend itself. The ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing any additional requirements for family members, such as visas, health insurance, and work/practice permits, if applicable.

ITI Scholars are responsible for organizing and paying their travel costs. The ITI Scholarship stipend is transferred only after the ITI Scholar has officially started the ITI Scholarship year – upon confirmation of arrival by the Scholarship Center Chair. Therefore, Scholars need to be prepared to finance the flight to their Scholarship country out of their own pocket.

Scholars are responsible for making their own their travel arrangements.

Yes, each ITI Scholar is expected to start the Scholarship year on September 1 or on the first day of the month on which the Scholarship year starts for those Scholarship Centers with a different start date. The start dates specified in the descriptions of the Scholarship Centers must be adhered to within a two-week timeframe.

The ITI Scholarship year commences September 1 of the year following the application and concludes August 31 of the subsequent year. For instance, if you apply for the Scholarship in June 2025, your Scholarship year will begin September 1, 2026, and conclude August 31, 2027. There are a couple of exceptions to this schedule for specific Scholarship Centers, which are detailed in the respective Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website.

No, there are no restrictions on nationality for applying to the ITI Scholarship Program. The program is open to applicants of all nationalities.

No, ITI membership is non-refundable.

No, do not send any application-related documents to ITI Headquarters. Documents sent by email or regular post will not be accepted. All required information and documents must be submitted through the online application portal. This ensures that the necessary details are correctly processed and reviewed.

Yes. Proficiency in English is important for communicating with ITI Headquarters, Scholarship applications, and within the greater ITI community; however, fluency is not mandatory. Language prerequisites and certification differ among ITI Scholarship Centers, as some Centers may not use English as their main language. Please refer to the specific language requirements on the ITI website.

No, this is not an option as ITI Scholars are expected to dedicate all their time to the ITI Scholarship. Therefore, PhDs must be finalized before the start of the ITI Scholarship. The same applies to other conflicting responsibilities such as functions in your host clinic, Scholarships from other organizations, family commitments in your home country, etc.

Yes, you can apply for an ITI Scholarship while you are still in postgraduate training. However, your postgraduate training must be completed by the start date of your Scholarship year.

Yes, candidates must be 37 years or younger at the time of application. For example, if you turn 38 on or after July 1 of the application year, you are not eligible to apply. Please ensure you meet this age requirement along with all other eligibility criteria outlined on the ITI website.

The selection process for ITI Scholarship recipients is rigorous and thorough. Once the application portal has closed, all submitted applications undergo screening at ITI Headquarters. The ITI Leadership Development Committee then completes a detailed evaluation of each application that meets the application requirements. Applications are assessed based on various criteria, including academic achievements, clinical experience, commitment to implant dentistry, leadership potential, and alignment with the goals of the ITI Scholarship Program. Subsequently, the Committee members convene to discuss the applications and select the potential ITI Scholars for the upcoming Scholarship year. The selection process aims to identify individuals who demonstrate exceptional promise.

Yes, an ITI membership is required for your application and is non-refundable. ITI membership opens doors to a wide range of invaluable benefits designed to support your professional and academic growth.

• A picture (passport format - JPG, minimum size 140 x 185 pixels).

• Language certificate (not mandatory in all cases, please see the Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website for more information).

Most ITI Scholarship Centers require non-native English speakers to provide a language proficiency certificate (such as TOEFL or IELTS) before the start of the Scholarship year. Additionally, familiarity with the local language is advantageous and/or required for certain interactions within the center. Specific language requirements for each ITI Scholarship Center are outlined in their respective descriptions on the ITI website.

No, a CV is not required when applying for the ITI Scholarship Program. All the necessary information will be collected during the online application process via the application tool.

Please refer to the illustration below for the timelines associated with the application and selection process.

A letter of recommendation is a letter written and signed by an academic or professional who is familiar with your work and character. This letter should explain why the sender believes you should be awarded an ITI Scholarship and demonstrate their familiarity with your accomplishments, personality, and current aspirations. Ideally, the recommendation letter should be written by a professor, ITI Fellow, or similar authority figure. Please note that the ITI Leadership Development Committee only accepts recommendation letters that have been printed and signed by the supporter before being scanned as PDFs. Electronic signatures are not accepted. Additionally, recommendation letters must be current, dated from the year of application.

Yes, all attachments must be in English.

The ITI Leadership Development Committee tries to allocate the applicant to one of the three preferred ITI Scholarship Centers listed by the applicant, but it is not always possible. The applicant may be allocated to another ITI Scholarship Center if someone else has already been allocated to the Centers of choice. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high, and candidates selected for an ITI Scholarship are expected to be willing to accept a place at a Scholarship Center that is not one of their three preferred Centers.

The recommendation letters must be hand-signed and dated. Please note that the ITI Leadership Development Committee only accepts recommendation letters that have been printed and signed by the supporter before being scanned as PDFs. Electronic signatures are not accepted. Additionally, recommendation letters must be current, dated from the year of application.

The recommendation letters must be dated from the year of application.

Yes, you do. While you may have a preference for one Scholarship Center, it's essential to select three different preferred ITI Scholarship Centers as allocation to your first choice cannot be guaranteed. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high.

Recommendation letters should be addressed to the ITI Leadership Development Committee at ITI Headquarters in Basel and must be uploaded as a PDF during the online application process when requested. Do not send any separate attachments via email or conventional mail, as these will not be accepted. Additionally, ensure that recommendation letters are hand-signed and dated, and that they are dated from the year of application.

Yes, only applications submitted via the online application portal and by the application deadline (i.e., the closing date and time of the application portal) will be accepted. Applications sent by email or regular post will not be accepted.

Documents must be provided in commonly used formats, such as PDF documents, Excel for financial aid, and JPEG for images. Specific format requirements may vary depending on the function accessed via the application portal, so be sure to check the guidelines provided in the portal.

If you have any questions, please contact ITI Headquarters via email at [email protected]

You can expect to receive notifications about the status of your application according to the following timeline: Usually, the first selected applicants will be informed by the end of January of the year following the application, along with the first round of unsuccessful applicants. The remaining applicants will receive notifications by the end of March. If you have not heard anything by then, this means you are on a contact list for last-minute cancellations. Please note that with hundreds of applications received each year, updates are not provided by ITI Headquarters. All applicants will be notified once their application status has been finalized. This may take until the end of March of the year following the application.

While efforts are made to allocate applicants to one of their preferred ITI Scholarship Centers as indicated in the application, placement is not guaranteed. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high

Please note that as an international organization, Scholars will not be allocated to a center in their current/home country. The aim of the ITI Scholarship program is to provide ITI Scholars with an international experience, fostering international exchange along with professional networking as well as cross-cultural learning.

No, you do not have to complete and submit the online application form in one session. You can save your progress and return to complete and submit the application at a later time.

Campus Administrator: This role can only be assigned by ITI Headquarters. Campus Admins have full administrative access to the Campus and all its Classrooms. Main tasks: Adding/managing Classrooms, assigning Classroom Admins, providing support to Classroom Admins and Faculty. 
Classroom Administrator: This role is assigned by the Campus Admin or an already existing Classroom Admin in the relevant classroom. 

There are three user roles in a Classroom that are characterized by different objectives and permissions: Classroom Administrator, Classroom Faculty and Classroom Participant.

• Classroom Administrators have full access to all administrative features of their Classroom and provide general technical support. They are assigned to the Classroom by the Campus Administrator or an already existing Classroom Admin in the relevant classroom. They have full access to all ITI Academy e-learning content. Their main tasks are: Managing the Classroom Participants and their roles, managing the course structure and resources, managing the forum, tracking Classroom usage statistics and assessment performance. The Classroom Administrator role is optional if Faculty can cover its tasks.
• Faculty is mainly an educational role. They have full access to all ITI Academy e-learning content to prepare the course and to all the administrative features of their Classroom. Faculty is assigned to the Classroom by the Classroom Administrator and defines the course structure and the learning material to be used. They can also manage the forum and track Classroom access, usage statistics and assessment performance.
• Classroom Participants have no administrative privileges in the Classrooms. They are assigned to the Classroom by the Classroom Administrator, have viewing access to all Classroom resources, can download custom resources, can start threads and post on the Classroom forum. They can also share their Case Cloud Cases with the Classroom.

To add people to your Classroom, click on 'Participants' in the navigation and then on the 'Import People' button. If you are importing people into this Classroom for the first time, download the Excel template by clicking the 'Download template' button. Open the template, read the instructions and enter all the necessary information. You can also add people later. All the fields are mandatory. If a row contains an empty field, the user will not be imported. The information in the 'Country*' column must match one of the countries exactly as it is listed in the template. Email addresses must be valid.
When adding users who are ITI Members, make sure to use the email address associated with their ITI membership to avoid duplicate accounts. The same goes for users who already have a free ITI Affiliate account. It is not possible to delete users. If you have added a user by mistake, please click the 'Deactivate' button for this user. Imported Participants have to confirm their email address to gain access to the system. Save the Excel file on your computer. In your 'Add Participants' dialog, click the 'Select list of participants...' button, choose the Excel file you have saved to your computer and click the 'OK' button. If you want to prevent the system from sending out email notifications informing people that they have been added to the classroom, then untick the corresponding check box. Important: Do not deactivate the notification unless all participants to be added are already active in other Classrooms on this Campus.

Participants receive the following welcome email:

Dear [name of participant]

Add people to the classroom by entering them in the existing Excel list and uploading it again. The system will not import the same users twice. If you change a user’s email address in the list and upload it again, the system will create an additional account for this user or, if the new email address is already in the system, it will add the user to the classroom again with the existing account. Please make sure to deactivate the redundant account. If participants have not responded to the email verification message, you can resend the message to all unverified users by clicking on the 'Resend Verification Emails' button. 

Click on 'Participants' in the navigation to display the list of current participants in your classroom.

Deactivated: User is removed from the Classroom but is still displayed under “Deactivated”

The color code indicates the status of your users at a glance: 
Green indicates that the user has validated the account by clicking the corresponding link in the confirmation email or that the user already had a valid account prior to being assigned to the classroom. He or she is therefore able to log into the Classroom. 
Red indicates that the user account has been created by the system but the user has not yet clicked on the confirmation link in the email he or she received. The user cannot log into the Classroom.

If you only receive our newsletters and invitations on an irregular basis, your email provider is most likely temporarily blocking our emails. We send our emails over a management system with an excellent global reputation to avoid such problems as far as possible.

Today most emails are auto-scanned for possible spam content. For example, simple keywords like "tobacco" can trigger the classification of the sending domain as a spam domain and block it for a limited time. In such cases, you will receive emails from the ITI but sometimes they are blocked.

Unfortunately we can not track our emails after they are sent out to your provider's domain. We advise you to contact your provider for more information.

Please check the following points:

1. Are your email settings in your personal profile up to date? Please check if the email address in your account is up to date and is spelled correctly.
2. Did you receive ITI emails lately? If not, please change your email address in your profile settings. Some domain providers are blacklisted. Our provider blocks emails to these providers to protect us from spam replies or malware. Contact your internet service provider to solve this.
3. Are ITI emails in your spam folder?
4. Is your local computer blocking the emails due to strict firewall/virus scan settings or other safety measures. Please check your security settings or contact your local IT service.
5. Did you accidentally unsubscribe from a newsletter you received from ITI.ORG, using the link at the bottom of a newsletter? If you wish to join the mailing list again, contact ITI Headquarters: [email protected].

Please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage for the stipend amounts that apply to the different ITI Scholarship Centers. The stipends reflect the cost of living in the city of the Scholarship Center. 

Yes, ITI Headquarters facilitates connections by sharing details of the previous Scholar who spent time at the Center a Scholar has been allocated to. This allows the Scholar to gather valuable insights and prepare for their new environment as well as the requirements of the Center. 

While ITI Scholarship Centers prioritize a professional environment, language support services are typically left up to the Scholar. Many Scholars take language courses, tutoring sessions, or language exchange programs to aid communication skills prior to and/or during the Scholarship year. Make sure to inform yourself of the Scholarship Center language requirements on the ITI website.

Treating patients during the Scholarship year is not guaranteed for all Scholars. Opportunities for clinical practice depend on various factors, including local regulations, the Scholar’s skill level, and the specific policies of the ITI Scholarship Center. Please refer to the descriptions of the ITI Scholarship Centers on the ITI website for in-depth information on the activities during the Scholarship year.

While we strive to fulfill preferences, securing one of your preferred ITI Scholarship Centers is not guaranteed. With numerous applicants for limited spots, less than 10% of applicants are allocated to their preferred center. It's essential to remain flexible in your selection. Being open to different options enhances your chances of experiencing the program's benefits and furthering your professional development.

The ITI encourages ITI Scholars to continue their engagement with the ITI community beyond their Scholarship year. We anticipate that Scholars will find fulfilling paths within the ITI community, allowing them to further their professional and personal development and contribute to the collective knowledge and exertise of our global network. Furthermore, upon their return to their home Section after the Scholarship year ITI Scholars should contact their Section Leadership Team to get involved in the Section’s activities. 

Scholars should be mindful of potential tax obligations and seek guidance from both local authorities and their Scholarship Center Chair. 

That is left up to the Scholar. The stipend can also be deposited in an account belonging to the Scholar in his or her country of residence. However, we recommend opening an account in the host country in order to avoid bank charges and currency exchange fluctuations. 

For detailed informationon on the currencies, please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage. 

For the Scholarship stipends paid, please refer to the information provided on the Scholarship program webpage. 

The stipend is  paid in two installments. The first installment is provided at the beginning of the Scholarship year, once the ITI Scholarship Center Chair confirms the Scholar's arrival at the Center. The second installment is given after six months, following the provision of the the Scholar's intermediate report to ITI Headquarters. The stipend is meant to support the Scholar for expenses such as accommodation and other cost of living and will be transferred to an account held by the ITI Scholar by ITI Headquarters. 

Each year, the ITI offers additional financial aid to a maximum of 5 ITI Scholars who find themselves in hardship and do not have sufficient means to cover their living expenses. To be considered for this support, candidates applying for additional financial aid are requested to provide detailed information about their financial situation, including their own and their parents' circumstances.

No, this is not the case. It contributes toward the cost of living and accommodation during the ITI Scholarship year. We advise applicants to consider their preferred centers/locations carefully, as certain destinations are very expensive. It is essential to understand that the stipend will not cover all the living costs in those locations. We encourage thorough consideration to ensure a comfortable and sustainable experience during the program. 

Treating patients during the Scholarship year is not guaranteed for all Scholars. Opportunities for clinical practice depend on various factors, including local regulations, the Scholar’s skill level, and the specific policies of the ITI Scholarship Center. Please refer to the descriptions of the ITI Scholarship Centers on the ITI website for in-depth information on the activities during the Scholarship year.

Yes. Each ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing his or her own health insurance for the ITI Scholarship year. Additionally, professional liability insurance is crucial and must be covered by the Scholar in order to participate in the program. If no reciprocal arrangement is available between the home country and the ITI Scholarship Center country, the ITI Scholar should take out additional health cover to ensure comprehensive protection during the Scholarship year. Scholars are advised to discuss all matters related to insurance matters with their Scholarship Center Chair right after confirmation of their ITI Scholarship to make sure insurance cover is in place in time for the start of the Scholarship year.

ITI Scholars will be put in contact with previous Scholars at their Center for tips and recommendations as to how to find accommodation. Scholars are also encouraged to to seek guidance from the administrative team/faculty at the Scholarship Center as to finding accommodation. Some Centers might offer on-campus accommodation for Scholars.

The decision to have your partner or family accompany you on your Scholarship year is entirely up to you. However, it's important to note that the stipend provided is intended solely for the living costs of the Scholar and does not extend to accompanying family members. The ITI does not provide additional contributions beyond the stipend itself. The ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing any additional requirements for family members, such as visas, health insurance, and work/practice permits, if applicable.

ITI Scholars are responsible for organizing and paying their travel costs. The ITI Scholarship stipend is transferred only after the ITI Scholar has officially started the ITI Scholarship year – upon confirmation of arrival by the Scholarship Center Chair. Therefore, Scholars need to be prepared to finance the flight to their Scholarship country out of their own pocket.

Scholars are responsible for making their own their travel arrangements.

Yes, each ITI Scholar is expected to start the Scholarship year on September 1 or on the first day of the month on which the Scholarship year starts for those Scholarship Centers with a different start date. The start dates specified in the descriptions of the Scholarship Centers must be adhered to within a two-week timeframe.

The ITI Scholarship year commences September 1 of the year following the application and concludes August 31 of the subsequent year. For instance, if you apply for the Scholarship in June 2025, your Scholarship year will begin September 1, 2026, and conclude August 31, 2027. There are a couple of exceptions to this schedule for specific Scholarship Centers, which are detailed in the respective Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website.

No, there are no restrictions on nationality for applying to the ITI Scholarship Program. The program is open to applicants of all nationalities.

No, ITI membership is non-refundable.

Please refer to the illustration below for the timelines associated with the application and selection process.    

No, do not send any application-related documents to ITI Headquarters. Documents sent by email or regular post will not be accepted. All required information and documents must be submitted through the online application portal. This ensures that the necessary details are correctly processed and reviewed.

Yes. Proficiency in English is important for communicating with ITI Headquarters, Scholarship applications, and within the greater ITI community; however, fluency is not mandatory. Language prerequisites and certification differ among ITI Scholarship Centers, as some Centers may not use English as their main language. Please refer to the specific language requirements on the ITI website.

No, this is not an option as ITI Scholars are expected to dedicate all their time to the ITI Scholarship. Therefore, PhDs must be finalized before the start of the ITI Scholarship. The same applies to other conflicting responsibilities such as functions in your host clinic, Scholarships from other organizations, family commitments in your home country, etc.

Yes, you can apply for an ITI Scholarship while you are still in postgraduate training. However, your postgraduate training must be completed by the start date of your Scholarship year.

Yes, candidates must be 37 years or younger at the time of application. For example, if you turn 38 on or after July 1 of the application year, you are not eligible to apply. Please ensure you meet this age requirement along with all other eligibility criteria outlined on the ITI website.

The selection process for ITI Scholarship recipients is rigorous and thorough. Once the application portal has closed, all submitted applications undergo screening at ITI Headquarters. The ITI Leadership Development Committee then completes a detailed evaluation of each application that meets the application requirements. Applications are assessed based on various criteria, including academic achievements, clinical experience, commitment to implant dentistry, leadership potential, and alignment with the goals of the ITI Scholarship Program. Subsequently, the Committee members convene to discuss the applications and select the potential ITI Scholars for the upcoming Scholarship year. The selection process aims to identify individuals who demonstrate exceptional promise.

Yes, an ITI membership is required for your application and is non-refundable. ITI membership opens doors to a wide range of invaluable benefits designed to support your professional and academic growth. Utilize your membership to enhance your journey as a prospective candidate as well as your chances of success, not only for your Scholarship application, but also your professional growth and aspirations. Engage with the ITI Academy's extensive learning materials, participate in ITI Study Clubs, attend ITI Education Weeks and Section events, develop and strengthen your ties to the ITI community.

The documents below need to be uploaded during the online application process. These documents, except for the picture, must be signed by hand, saved as PDFs, and uploaded to the application profile:

• A picture (passport format - JPG, minimum size 140 x 185 pixels).

• Language certificate (not mandatory in all cases, please see the Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website for more information).

Most ITI Scholarship Centers require non-native English speakers to provide a language proficiency certificate (such as TOEFL or IELTS) before the start of the Scholarship year. Additionally, familiarity with the local language is advantageous and/or required for certain interactions within the center. Specific language requirements for each ITI Scholarship Center are outlined in their respective descriptions on the ITI website.

No, a CV is not required when applying for the ITI Scholarship Program. All the necessary information will be collected during the online application process via the application tool.

Please refer to the illustration below for the timelines associated with the application and selection process.

A letter of recommendation is a letter written and signed by an academic or professional who is familiar with your work and character. This letter should explain why the sender believes you should be awarded an ITI Scholarship and demonstrate their familiarity with your accomplishments, personality, and current aspirations. Ideally, the recommendation letter should be written by a professor, ITI Fellow, or similar authority figure. Please note that the ITI Leadership Development Committee only accepts recommendation letters that have been printed and signed by the supporter before being scanned as PDFs. Electronic signatures are not accepted. Additionally, recommendation letters must be current, dated from the year of application.

We strongly recommend carefully reviewing the Scholarship Center descriptions on the ITI website to identify the centers that align best with your professional aspirations.

Yes, all attachments must be in English.

The ITI Leadership Development Committee tries to allocate the applicant to one of the three preferred ITI Scholarship Centers listed by the applicant, but it is not always possible. The applicant may be allocated to another ITI Scholarship Center if someone else has already been allocated to the Centers of choice. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high, and candidates selected for an ITI Scholarship are expected to be willing to accept a place at a Scholarship Center that is not one of their three preferred Centers.

The recommendation letters must be hand-signed and dated. Please note that the ITI Leadership Development Committee only accepts recommendation letters that have been printed and signed by the supporter before being scanned as PDFs. Electronic signatures are not accepted. Additionally, recommendation letters must be current, dated from the year of application.

The recommendation letters must be dated from the year of application.

Yes, you do. While you may have a preference for one Scholarship Center, it's essential to select three different preferred ITI Scholarship Centers as allocation to your first choice cannot be guaranteed. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high.

Recommendation letters should be addressed to the ITI Leadership Development Committee at ITI Headquarters in Basel and must be uploaded as a PDF during the online application process when requested. Do not send any separate attachments via email or conventional mail, as these will not be accepted. Additionally, ensure that recommendation letters are hand-signed and dated, and that they are dated from the year of application.

Yes, only applications submitted via the online application portal and by the application deadline (i.e., the closing date and time of the application portal) will be accepted. Applications sent by email or regular post will not be accepted.

Documents must be provided in commonly used formats, such as PDF documents, Excel for financial aid, and JPEG for images. Specific format requirements may vary depending on the function accessed via the application portal, so be sure to check the guidelines provided in the portal.

If you have any questions, please contact ITI Headquarters via email at [email protected]

You can expect to receive notifications about the status of your application according to the following timeline: Usually, the first selected applicants will be informed by the end of January of the year following the application, along with the first round of unsuccessful applicants. The remaining applicants will receive notifications by the end of March. If you have not heard anything by then, this means you are on a contact list for last-minute cancellations. Please note that with hundreds of applications received each year, updates are not provided by ITI Headquarters. All applicants will be notified once their application status has been finalized. This may take until the end of March of the year following the application.

While efforts are made to allocate applicants to one of their preferred ITI Scholarship Centers as indicated in the application, placement is not guaranteed. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high

Please note that as an international organization, Scholars will not be allocated to a center in their current/home country. The aim of the ITI Scholarship program is to provide ITI Scholars with an international experience, fostering international exchange along with professional networking as well as cross-cultural learning.

No, you do not have to complete and submit the online application form in one session. You can save your progress and return to complete and submit the application at a later time. However, be mindful of the deadline and ensure you submit your application before the closing date and time of the application portal. Late applications and/or applications sent by email or regular post will not be accepted. The Scholarship application portal is available on the ITI website from May 31, midnight UTC until June 30, midnight UTC.

The Scholarship application portal is the online platform where applicants can submit their applications for the ITI Scholarship Program. Applicants are guided through the application process step by step, ensuring all required materials are completed and submitted correctly.

If you only receive our newsletters and invitations on an irregular basis, your email provider is most likely temporarily blocking our emails. We send our emails over a management system with an excellent global reputation to avoid such problems as far as possible.

Today most emails are auto-scanned for possible spam content. For example, simple keywords like "tobacco" can trigger the classification of the sending domain as a spam domain and block it for a limited time. In such cases, you will receive emails from the ITI but sometimes they are blocked.

Unfortunately we can not track our emails after they are sent out to your provider's domain. We advise you to contact your provider for more information.

Please check the following points:

1. Are your email settings in your personal profile up to date? Please check if the email address in your account is up to date and is spelled correctly.
2. Did you receive ITI emails lately? If not, please change your email address in your profile settings. Some domain providers are blacklisted. Our provider blocks emails to these providers to protect us from spam replies or malware. Contact your internet service provider to solve this.
3. Are ITI emails in your spam folder?
4. Is your local computer blocking the emails due to strict firewall/virus scan settings or other safety measures. Please check your security settings or contact your local IT service.
5. Did you accidentally unsubscribe from a newsletter you received from ITI.ORG, using the link at the bottom of a newsletter? If you wish to join the mailing list again, contact ITI Headquarters: [email protected].
