The European Society for Clinical Virology wishes to offer a number of travel grants to young researchers to enable them to attend their meetings and workshops.
For the annual ESCV meetings, the grants are awarded to students and trainees (up to age 40) who are ESCV members or have applied for ESCV membership and who will give an oral or a poster presentation at the meeting. Applications will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee and the grant will be given according to the quality of the abstract and availability of funds. The travel grant award will be € 750.
Grant applications must include:
1. Application on the following form

Only one travel grant per recipient will be awarded.
Only complete applications can be regarded for a travel grant.
