Incomplete application will not be considered.

Following guidelines for EMBO Practical Courses, this event is primarily addressed to students and young researchers. But considering its specificity, we will also promote the attendance of scientists and technical staff of laboratories or facilities who have the potential to spread the acquired techniques to their local scientific communities.

The application must include a project description (maximum 2000 words).

Poster specifications

Students are encouraged also to present a poster which can be exhibited throughout the course and may provoke discussions during e.g. coffee breaks.

Travel grants

A limited number of travel grants are available for participants. Applicants do not need to apply separately for travel grants for this event but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered for a travel grant. Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizer who will notify all eligible participants. More information is available at EMBO Travel Grants' page.
