Travel grants for IMARS-15
IMARS is pleased to offer travel grants for students and postdoctoral fellows to present a talk or poster at the conference in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Although our funding sources are very limited and we regret that we are not able to fund all applicants, the conference organizers are committed to providing support to as many eligible applicants as possible. Recipients of these grants should reside and work in countries where funding for participation in international meetings poses significant challenges.
Application Process:
Travel Fellowship Applications should be submitted by eligible individuals after the acceptance of a submitted abstract. The deadline to submit a fellowship application is July 1, 2024. The award of the travel grant is €500 for travel and/or accommodation.
