Travel grants and registration fee waivers
A limited number of FEBS Youth Travel Fund (YTF) grants are available. In exceptional cases a reduced registration fee can be applied for. One transcontinental YTF award is offered as a result of support from IUBMB for participation of scientists from outside the FEBS area in this event. Applicants do not need to apply separately for these but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered and provide a short justification. Please include information specific to the need and level of required grant funding and already available support.
Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizers. FEBS YTF awards need to be approved by the FEBS Treasury Office according to the FEBS YTF eligibility criteria.
There are numerous sources of travel funding for PhD students and early career researchers available. Please speak to your group leader and/or research coordinator for advice on which organizations you might be able to apply to for travel funding.
