Travel grants
Each year, the French Society of Developmental Biology (SFBD) awards travel grants to PhD students (minimum 2nd year of PhD) or young post-doctoral students (less than 2 years of postdoc) members of the SFBD and willing to present their work at international conferences with a poster or an oral presentation.
The sanitary crisis has made the period unfavourable for travels over the past two years. However, in 2022 the meetings are actively resuming in face-to-face format. A specific call for applications to participate in the ISDB meeting which will take place in Portugal on October 16-20, 2022 and the SFBD-JSDB-HFSP meeting, which will take place in Strasbourg on November 7-10, 2022. We also give a bonus for eco-responsible trips avoiding flight travel.
STATUS : open
DEADLINE : 15/07/2022
Registration fees up to:
400€ for European meetings with flight transportation ✈️,
500€ for European meetings with train transportation🚆,
500€ for non-European meetings
