Conference funding support
EASST is providing funding to assist in-person attendance to the EASST-4S 2024 Amsterdam conference for EASST members.
The rules and criteria for application are straightforward:
- Funding will be provided as conference registration fee waivers only.
- ALL applications must be submitted via the online form.
- Applicants should not seek ‘double-funding’ (i.e. if you already have full funding from another source, you are ineligible). Our aim is to support those who only have partial funding from another source or have no funding at all.
- Funding for delegates will be prioritised for those with no income/ funding or precarious employment, those with limited options for sourcing other funds, for panel convenors and/ or paper presenters; PhD students, those without PhDs and postdocs.
- Applicants must be EASST members for the membership year May 2024-April 2025.
- Please keep your ‘other information’ concise. We do not need to know about your paper, please keep to facts regarding alternate sources of funding, how much funding would be helpful to you etc.
If you make a mistake, please do not resubmit, but email conference(at)easst4s2024.net
Proceed to the online form.
Deadline for applications: 1st May 2024
Decisions communicated to all applicants: 17th May 2024.
Please note: 4S members are not eligible for this funding call but can apply for travel funding assistance from 4S. No person can be funded by both associations.
