PROGRAMMING (PROmoting GeRiAtric Medicine in countries where it is still eMergING), COST Action-CA21122 is pleased to announce the first open call for ITC Conference grant applications.
ITC Conference grants aim to support Young Researchers and Innovators (YRI) affiliated in an Inclusiveness Target Country (ITC) / Near Neighbour Country establishing a network and increasing visibility via active participation in one of the high-level conferences in a relevant field of study. Herein, the active participation basically implies an oral or poster presentation of the own work given by a YRI.
The amount of the grant which has a maximum limit of EUR 2000,00 (per grant) for face-to-face conferences and EUR 500,00 (per grant) for virtual conferences, is to be decided by the Action Core Group considering the duration and location of the Conference, the actual conference fee and the number of applicants. This funding aims to contribute for the expenses of travelling, accommodation, and subsistence in addition to the registration fee, printing of scientific poster and overall effort.
