Travel grants
Each year, the French Society of Developmental Biology awards around 10 travel grants to PhD students (in their 2nd year at least) or to young post-doctoral researchers members of the SFBD and willing to present their work (with a poster or an oral presentation) during an international conference. From this year we will provide more help to those candidates favoring the train as means of transport.
Applications are evaluated 3 times a year and have the following deadlines for the 2020 season: 15/01/2020 (Shaping Life2), 15/03/2020 (cancelled due to Covid19) and 31/08/2020.
STATUS : close
DEADLINE : 15/01/2020, 15/03/2020 (cancelled) and 31/08/2020
Transport and registration fees up to 400€ for Europe when travelling by plane and 500€ when travelling by train. 500€ for other destinations.

Selection procedure
The selection is made by the SFBD Board based on the content of the application.
