TravelGrants

Travel grants to visit ESVV/EPIZONE meeting for Young EPIZONE members.

Instructions

For Young EPIZONE members, EPIZONE can supply 5 travel grants of up to 750€ for young scientists to visit the ESVV/EPIZONE meeting.

If you would like to receive a travel grant, an application letter should be sent to the EPIZONE administration office (epizone.bvr@wur.nl) that must include the following information:

  • Name of the young scientist involved
  • Requested amount of money (with justification of costs)
  • Estimated costs of the travel
  • Ground for the application

Must be undersigned by the head of the institute!

A young scientist is:

  • a PhD student
  • a postdoc or other within 5 years after getting the PhD degree
  • a beginning career scientist in the first 5 years of his/her career
  • working for an EPIZONE member institute

Applicants who have submitted an abstract will have a higher chance to be selected (the abstract can be submitted later than your application for the travel grant, but it will be checked if you submitted).

Deadline for application: June 30th 2025

Applicants will be informed about the decision before the early bird deadline for registration for the meeting.

Note that for receiving the payment, your institute has to send an invoice to EPIZONE with a specific order number from the WUR ordering system. This process can take a while and it is important that the person who receives the grant will reply emails quickly and communicates this well within his/her institute.
