Participation/Travel Grants

FEBS Registration Grants

A limited number of FEBS Registration Grants are available to support participation of early-career scientists in this course. These funds will cover the registration fee up to a maximum of 800 EUR per person. The selection of applicants to receive FEBS Registration Grants will be carried out by the Course Organizers on the basis of merit, as well as the diversity of candidates, and approved by the FEBS Treasury Office according to the FEBS Registration Grant eligibility criteria (also shown below).

Application and notification of outcome

Please check the applications section of the website. In the platform's registration system, (i) include proof of your society membership in the file you upload with supporting documents, and (ii) answer yes to the question asking about interest in applying for a FEBS Registration Grant. 

Applicants selected by the Course Organizers will be notified by email and receive a FEBS Treasury Registration Grant form, to be returned to the FEBS Treasury for approval approximately 12 weeks before the event's start date.
