By Somya Singhal
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) for awarding me the 2025 Junior Traveling Fellowship (JTF), which enabled me to attend the World Congress of Neurology (WCN), Oct. 12-15, in Seoul, South Korea. I am deeply honored to have been selected for this prestigious fellowship.
Attending WCN 2025 was an academically enriching and professionally rewarding experience. The congress provided an excellent platform to engage with international experts, gain exposure to recent advances in neurology, and participate in high-quality scientific deliberations. I was privileged to present my research work as a poster during the congress. This allowed me to share my findings, receive valuable feedback, and engage in meaningful academic discussions with peers and senior neurologists from around the world.
The JTF award played a crucial role in facilitating my participation by alleviating financial constraints and encouraging early career neurologists to actively engage in global scientific forums. This experience has significantly contributed to my academic development and has further motivated me to pursue clinical research and academic excellence in neurology.
I sincerely thank the WFN for its continued support of young neurologists and for providing such invaluable opportunities for professional growth. •
