Thanks to the supports of FEBS and FEMS we will be able to provide a limited number of bursaries to help graduate students and post-doctoral fellows attend the meeting.
Criteria (age, current country of residence) for obtaining bursaries from FEBS and FEMS differ. Thus, we strongly recommend that you read this page entirely and select the type of funding that is most apporpriate to your current situation. Because the documents requested to apply for the FEBS and FEMS bursaries are similar to some extent, it is possible to apply for both, provided you meet the requested criteria. This will increase your chances to get funded. However, in the end, funding will be obtained from only one funding body.
