Selection criteria

The organizers will select participants on the basis of their CV and abstract (aiming to ensure, compatibly with quality, a fair representation of genders and nationalities).

 Participants will have the opportunity to present their results during the central event of the meeting—a poster session to which a full afternoon will be dedicated. 
 A limited number of abstracts will be selected for oral presentations.

Scholarships

Several scholarships, of which 9 funded by EFIS-EJI and 7 funded by ICGEB (the latter for nationals from developing countries that are ICGEB member states; see here), will be awarded to young scientists (PhD students and early career post docs) who the reviewers feel have produced abstracts of outstanding quality. The scholarships of 700 euros each will be awarded in the form of no-cost registration.

A small number of grants-in-aid to cover partial living and travel expenses might also become available depending on the final calculations of the costs. The organizers will notify the applicants after the conference and grants will be paid in the form of reimbursement of conference related expenses on submission of the original travel or registration receipts.
