Travel Grants

Thanks to the continuing collaboration of its Official Journal, the European Journal of Immunology (EJI), and to the generous contribution of the Fondation ACTERIA, EFIS will be awarding a considerable number of travel grants at the value of EUR 700 each for young post-docs and PhD-students wishing to attend ECI 2024, to be held 1 - 4 September 2024 in Dublin, Ireland.

To be eligible for a grant, the applicant must:

  • be the first author of an abstract submitted to ECI 2024;
  • be a member of an EFIS member society
  • have no more than 7 years postdoctoral experience (excluding career interruptions).

To apply, after you have submitted your abstract to ECI 2024, return to this page on the EFIS website to complete a short application form and to submit your confirmation of abstract submission and proof of membership in an EFIS member society (accepted formats: .doc and .pdf). Please note that the server connection for the transfer of your data is SSL encrypted for your security.

Successful applicants will be notified of their award by 10 May 2024.

Please note that grants will be paid by bank transfer after ECI 2024 has taken place: in no cases will advance payments be made. In order to claim their award, grant holders will be required to submit their ECI 2024 attendance certificate and a claim form that will be provided by EFIS offices. Please also note that only one grant will be allocated per person and the grant cannot be transferred.

All successful applicants will be selected based on compliance with the above eligibility criteria, the quality of abstract (scored in a blind reviewing process by the ECI 2024 organisers) and demographic balance.

Deadline for application: 15 April 2024
