EBSA Grants
The Organizers are able to offer assistance from EBSA, European Biophysical Societies’ Association. In most cases EBSA Grant will amount to 450€ that covers most of the early-bird, all inclusive fee. The EBSA fund may support up to about 20% of the School participants. In select cases the selection committee may grant the full cost of the early-bird fee, i.e. 640€.
Candidates from less research-intensive countries will be given priority for EBSA Grants. Please check the list of Inclusiveness Target Countries (http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/strategy/excellence-inclusiveness). Only in exceptional cases other candidates will be considered. The candidates affiliated to an institution in Croatia are not eligible. A recipient of the EBSA grant is expected to be a member of their respective national or local biophysical society or any other society participant to the European Biophysical Societies’ Association.
A single laboratory can obtain only one grant, i.e. send one student.
