Travel grants and free registrationThe RC52 Board and the University of Florence share the idea of the importance of promoting the participation of young researchers in international conferences, as a fundamental step to be involved and feel part of a wider scientific community. For this reason, they decided to support a selected number of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) who will participate actively in the 2019 Interim Meeting. Specifically, the RC52 board will provide four travel grants of 250 euro. Being awarded a travel grant, then, will entitle the applicants to free registration at the conference. All PhD students who will be selected to present a paper at the conference will nevertheless benefit from a discounted registration fee. |
