title: [Ferdinand Eisenberger research stipendium 2015].
abstract: The Ferdinand Eisenberger scholarship program provides interested young urologists with the chance to undertake intensive experimental investigations for a 1-year period outside the clinical routine. Within the framework of a scientific project scholarship holders acquire competence in research and establish important contacts for themselves as well as for their institutions to scientists and research laboratories excelling in basic research. In contrast to scholarships awarded by the large funding institutions, such as the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) and German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe), the Eisenberger scholarships concentrate on host laboratories in Germany. In this way the German Society of Urology (DGU) hopes to strengthen the research infrastructure of urology in Germany with effective regional and national networks.
