Description
The European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB) provides Conference Travel Awards to help students and young scientists professionally based in countries with low GDP attend evolutionary biology meetings. The stipends contribute toward travel, living expenses, and early bird congress registration fees. They support conference participation rather than a separate research project, and recipients must attend and present a talk or poster to receive reimbursement.
The 2026 award supported participation 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 addresses general travel costs and is distinct from ESEB’s Congress Attendance Aid Grant, which addresses financial barriers related to equality, care, and accessibility.
