The first COTEC CPD Award round for Spring 2026 has been successfully completed. We received four complete applications, all of which were independently assessed against the eligibility criteria by three members of the COTEC Executive Committee.

Following this thorough review process, we are pleased to announce the recipient of the 2026 COTEC CPD Award.

Congratulations to Nazibrola Kajaia from Georgia! We are delighted to support her participation in this year’s ENOTHE Annual Meeting in France, where she will represent occupational therapy practitioners and contribute to professional exchange and development at the European level.

This marks the beginning of an ongoing commitment by COTEC to support continuing professional development opportunities for occupational therapists across Europe. Two CPD Award rounds will be offered each year, with the next application round opening from 1 August to 15 September 2026. Further information about the application process will be shared through COTEC’s social media channels in due course.
