Description
The European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) provides travel grants to help early-career investigators attend its international meetings. The 2026 award supports participation in the Congress of the European Paediatric Academic Societies (CEPAS) in Lyon, France. It contributes to the practical costs of congress attendance rather than directly funding a research project, covering travel, accommodation, registration and subsistence.
The programme prioritises scientific excellence, applicant motivation and the potential benefit of attending the meeting. Scientific quality is assessed through congress abstracts. CEPAS brings together paediatric professionals across subspecialties, from neonatal care to adolescent medicine, to advance child health through research, education and collaboration. New grant opportunities are expected in 2027; the award terms below describe the 2026 programme.
