description
Travel Grants are available to junior researchers pursuing experimental projects in basic biomedical research.to learn clearly-defined methods useful for your ongoing research and the work of your research group at home by visiting another laboratory, or by attending research-orientated courses which include practical training.
The grants are intended
- to enable recipients to learn clearly defined methods useful for their ongoing research and the work of their research group at home by visiting another laboratory, or by attending research-orientated courses which include practical training; and
- to enable graduates from abroad and their potential PhD supervisors to evaluate the scientific and personal prerequisites before embarking on a PhD thesis (to this end, the graduate student shall pursue a short project in his or her potential PhD supervisor’s laboratory for at least four weeks).
Eligibility is open to European citizens working in Europe and overseas, and non-European citizens who will use the travel grant to work in Europe. Applicants must pursue an experimental project in basic biomedical research and belong to one of the following groups of junior scientists:
- PhD students or medical students pursuing an experimental doctoral thesis who are not older than 30 years of age
- Postdocs who are pursuing a particular research project who are not older than 32 years of age
- Graduates from abroad who have applied for a PhD project, but who have not yet worked with their potential PhD supervisor
Travel allowances are awarded for a period up to three months. The fund provides a flat-rate contribution which may cover the expenses for travel, lodging and course fees.
Researchers can be awarded one travel grant during a period of 12 months.
A travel grant can be awarded only if the home institution continues to pay the applicant’s salary (in the case of PhDs and postdoctoral scientists), while the host institute covers research-related costs.
