Candidate conferences for Conference Grants
This page lists upcoming conferences for which Conference Grants can be requested. Generally, Conference Grants are intended to support the participation of Phd Students and Young Researchers and Innovators[1] from participating Inclusiveness Target Countries[2] at international conferences. As soon as we receive an expression of interest, we will launch an official call for application. All applications will then go through selection by the Grant Awarding Committee.
Successful applicants will receive a Conference Grant from the Phage4Crops COST Action. Conference Grants are fixed financial contributions to the overall travel, accommodation and meal expenses of the selected Grantee, which take into consideration the budget request of the applicant and the outcome of the evaluation by the Grant Awarding Committee. Conference Grants do not necessarily cover all of the expenses related to participating in a given conference. Please consult the Annotated Rules for COST Actions for more details on eligibility for application and the reimbursement rules. Please be aware that you need to provide all travel documents and relevant receipts (registration fee) within 4 weeks after return from the conference in order to receive the Conference Grant.
If you are aware of other conferences with relevance to the Phage4Crops COST Action, please feel free to share your suggestions with us so that we can include them in future Conference Grant calls.
