Travel and attendance grants

Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC) Grants (by CA20130)

IBBS has a long tradition in supporting younger scientists at the beginning of their career. We are therefore delighted that IBBS19 has succeeded in organizing a COST Action Euro MIC travel and attendance grants (EU Horizon 22, CA20130) to support the participation of up to 8 young researchers. Eligible are young researchers coming from COST’s ITC countries1 and COST’s Near Neighbor Countries2. Any young researcher from these countries, who will present a lecture or poster at IBBS19 can apply for the grant. Every successful applicant will receive 1,200 € after the conference, once the final report has been submitted and approved. Of course, the logo of the sponsor (Euro MIC) must be shown on the presentation at IBBS19. More information on the COST ITC grants can be found here.

In case of questions please contact Maria Salta or Ivana Dinic.
