Travel grants to attend developmental biology conferences, SFBD

Travel grants

Each year, the French Society of Developmental Biology (SFBD) awards travel grants to PhD students (minimum 2^nd 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.
