GSLS Travel Fellowships

GSLS travel fellowships offer GSLS doctoral researchers the opportunity to participate in international conferences and workshops (active participation, talk or poster presentation, is a prerequisite) or support a research stay in a foreign laboratory. Each GSLS doctoral researcher can receive up to 2.000 EUR until graduation.

Eligibility

• Medical students with an MD fellowship of the Faculty of Medicine or the GSLS who registered with the GSLS and take part in a specially adapted, structured doctoral program are also eligible for GSLS travel fellowships. They can receive up to 500 EUR until graduation

Benefits

Funding for travel fellowships is based on the location of the meeting or activity attended:

• Germany: up to 300 EUR
• Europe: up to 500 EUR
• Overseas: up to 1,000 EUR

Application Process

• Send an application (in English) including a statement of motivation and details about the conference/workshop/ research stay BEFORE it takes place.  Please also submit a copy of your talk or poster abstract, and verification of your presentation as soon as it is accepted by the conference organizers (travel awards will only be made once the acceptance is confirmed)
