The Biochemical Society’s General Travel Grants help members attend scientific conferences and training events in person, nationally or internationally. The scheme covers travel and accommodation so researchers can present work to topic experts, take part in specialist workshops, develop knowledge and build professional networks.
Meetings or workshops must have a molecular bioscience focus. The Society places particular weight on how attendance will benefit the applicant’s career and on active participation, such as presenting a poster or giving a talk. Awards are competitive, and the maximum grants are reserved for exceptional, well-supported cases with substantial career benefit and financial need.
