Description
The European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB) Conference Travel Award helps students and young scientists professionally based in countries with low GDP participate in evolutionary biology meetings. It contributes to the general costs of conference attendance rather than funding a separate research project. Supported costs include travel, living expenses, and early-bird congress registration.
The 2026 award supported attendance at the European Meeting of PhD Students in Evolutionary Biology (EMPSEB) in Oberwiesenthal, Germany, or the Evolution meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The award is distinct from ESEB’s Congress Attendance Aid Grant, which addresses equality-, care-, and accessibility-related financial barriers.
