RULES FOR EASST TRAVEL STIPENDS

 

All EASST members are eligible to apply for travel stipends to attend relevant conferences, workshops, summer schools, etc. However, priority is given to scholars from transitional economies, developing countries and to PhD students from all countries.

 

General rules:

  1. Applicants must be EASST members. The application form to become an EASST member is available at http://www.chem.uva.nl/easst/memform.html
  2. A student may receive funds only once during the course of their study.
  3. A senior scholar may not receive funds for two consecutive EASST conferences.
  4. For any single event, support will only be given to one senior scholar per institution. (This rule does not apply to students, thus more than one student per institution may apply.)
  5. For the EASST conference, an abstract must have been accepted by programme committee before an application for funds can be considered. For other conferences or workshops, a presentation must be made. For educational workshops or training activities, this may not be necessary.
  6. Full costs are not covered.

 

 

Applications should include the following:

  1. letter/email to the EASST President explaining why attending the particular event is important for your work
  2. copy of abstract if support is for conference attendance
  3. confirmation from relevant programme committee or event organisers that abstract is accepted
  4. in the case of students, a supporting email is also needed from the supervisor
  5. budget (The applicantıs own institution is expected to make some contribution. EASST will not cover all costs.)

 

 

After the event:

  1. submit summary of costs with receipts and bank details to the EASST secretariat
  2. send short report (500-1000 words) regarding the event attended to the editor of the EASST Review for consideration for publication. The editor is Chunglin Kwa, C.L.Kwa@uva.nl
