Summary: Supports young respiratory scientists attending international scientific meetings outside the main respiratory field to encourage unconventional thinking and innovation.
Key Information: Applicants must be NRS members under 40 and affiliated with a scientific institution in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands Respiratory Society (NRS) offers this travel grant to help young respiratory scientists attend high-quality international symposia and conferences outside their main field. The programme addresses the difficulty of securing travel funding for meetings beyond the usual respiratory conference setting. Its purpose is to encourage unconventional thinking and innovation in respiratory medicine by exposing investigators to ideas and approaches from other scientific fields.
The grant supports scientific travel rather than financing research projects directly. Applicants must be working on research focused primarily on respiratory diseases, whether in basic, translational or clinical research. Attendance at ATS, ERS, WCLC, ESMO, ASCO and AACR conferences is excluded.
