FEMS Meeting Grants

Objective

FEMS supports selected meetings within the European Area with a Meeting Grant. Scientific conferences, laboratory workshops, and training courses will be considered for such support.The maximum amount of a Meeting Grant is EUR 15 000. The Meeting Grant may only be used to support the attendance of:

• Young Scientists (minimum of 60% and a maximum of 80% of total grant value) and
• Invited Speakers (minimum of 20% and a maximum of 40% of total grant value)

Application

Organisers of events seeking support from FEMS should first inform themselves of the regulations governing FEMS Meeting Grants.
 
FEMS Central Office should receive the completed application form latest by March 1 of the year preceding that in which the meeting takes place.

Review

Upon receipt of an application at FEMS Central Office, it is checked for eligibility and completeness. Complete applications are then submitted to the Grants Board. This Board formulates its recommendations to the Executive Committee, which then makes the final decision, usually in April of each year. This decision will be communicated to the event organisers soon thereafter.
