These stipends are for students and young scientists to attend the next EMPSEB meeting from May 29 – Jun 3, 2023 in Scotland, UK, or the Evolution meeting of ASN/SSB/SSE in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from June 21–25, 2023. The stipend will contribute to covering travel, living expenses, and early bird congress registration fees. The funds will be paid out as a reimbursement after the congress, based on specification of the expenses. Note that the registration fee for the Evolution meeting will be waived by the organisers and thus does not need to be included in the budget.
Please note that this Conference Travel Award is distinct from the Congress Attendance Aid Grant, which is designed to help with the additional costs of meeting attendance due to responsibilities for caring for dependents when attending the meetings and NOT for the costs of the applicant to attend the meeting.
DEADLINE: January 31st, 2023
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be ESEB members before the deadline (for becoming an ESEB member, please visit https://eseb.org/society/eseb-membership/).
- Applications can be submitted by scientists at various stages of their professional career (e.g., Masters and PhD students, postdocs, and lecturers).
- Scientists working in a country with high GDP are not eligible (for the list of excluded countries see below).
- People who received an ESEB travel stipend in the last five years are not eligible.
- Applicants must apply to present either an oral communication or a poster to be eligible for the stipend. This will be verified before the reimbursement, but no proof that a poster or talk is accepted is necessary at the application stage.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE STIPENDS ARE GIVEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANALOGOUS STIPENDS OFFERED BY THE SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF EVOLUTION (SSE; separate call) TO SUPPORT PARTICIPATION AT EVOLUTION 2023, SO THERE IS NO NEED TO APPLY TO BOTH THE ESEB AND THE SSE AWARDS.
