EMBO Call for Applications: Funding for Workshops
European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) is calling for applications for funding to organise a Workshop. EMBO is looking to fund meetings that facilitate the exchange of top-level science.
EMBO Workshops bring together scientists to present and discuss the latest findings in their subject areas related to the life sciences. Scientists can apply to organize a conference in their field. This bottom-up approach ensures that the portfolio of scientific meetings funded by EMBO reflects the needs and developments of the scientific community.
Eligibility:
- EMBO Workshops must take place in an EMBC Member State, an EMBC Associate Member State, in countries and territories covered by a cooperation agreement or in countries eligible for support by EMBO and The Company of Biologists.
- Organisers can be of any nationality and be based in any country of the world.
- EMBO Workshops must cover a topic from the life sciences, and organisers must provide a convincing justification that the workshop serves an active and evolving community. Furthermore, the application should include a list of (mostly) confirmed speakers.
Funding details:
- EMBO can contribute up to a maximum of 45,000 euros (35,000 euros of core funding plus 9,000 euros exclusively for travel grants and registration fee waivers, and 1,000 euros for childcare grants) per workshop.
- EMBO supports the organisers by: Creating a dedicated workshop webpage, including registration and abstract submission forms; Providing a poster and helping to advertise the meeting; Offering funds for an EMBO Young Investigator Lecture, EMBO Policy Lecture or an EMBO Women in Science Lecture.
- EMBO offers travel grants for each event.
