Support for the organization of scientific events

Objectives

These grants are aimed at researchers, and more particularly young researchers wishing to organize scientific events relating to the end of life. These events must concern the field of autonomy (old age and/or disability) and must fall within the scope of human and social sciences (SHS) and/or public health.

This support will enhance the value of the scientific community's work, promote the integration of young researchers into research networks and work towards the emergence of innovative, interdisciplinary projects.

Research themes

Proposed scientific events must be related to the end of life and fall within one of the following themes:

• Virage domiciliaire et approches domiciliaires de la fin de vie des personnes en situation de handicap et des personnes âgées en perte d'autonomie;
• Autonomy of will: analysis of expressions of the will to die of people with disabilities and/or elderly people with loss of autonomy and the associated reactions of family caregivers and professionals;
• End of life for children with disabilities;
• Experiences of bereavement among people with disabilities and elderly people losing their autonomy, their family caregivers and the professionals who support them.

• The acts of the event based on the written transcript and content from the video recording must be submitted within 3 months of the event.
• A summary document (20 pages maximum) highlighting the main findings of the scientific event supported, the collaborations initiated and the prospects envisaged will be sent to the Platform and the CNSA within 3 months of the event.
• The projects supported will benefit from communication and promotion support within the scientific community and the general public by the Platform and the CNSA.
• It will be necessary to mention the financial support of the Plateforme nationale pour la recherche sur la fin de vie and the CNSA on the occasion of any written or oral communication (programs, posters, proceedings, documents given to participants, articles) and to affix their respective logos on all communication media.
