We define EMCRs broadly as researchers who have accumulated less than 10 years of experience since completing their PhD (taking into account periods of part-time research or career breaks).
Funding will only be considered for those who have submitted an abstract at the symposium for an oral or poster presentation.
In an effort to balance funding the greatest possible number of applicants with providing the funds required by successful applicants, we will attribute funds based on need/budgetary availability, in the range of approximately 500 - 2000 USD (though this may be more or less depending on need and availability).
The Ant-ICON Steering Committee will apply the following criteria to select successful applicants from eligible applications:- The scientific merit and relevance of the work to be presented at the OSC
- Benefit of the funding to the applicant
Applications will be accepted up to the next day after the OSC abstract deadline (i.e. 4 March, therefore travel grant applications deadline is 5 March 2024 at 23:59 UTC). If the OSC abstract deadline is extended, then we will match this extension accordingly.
