Registration fee waivers for virtual participants

Registration fees are waived for virtual participation by:

• Scientists with a permanent affiliation in a low- or lower-middle-income country according to the World Bank definition.
• Undergraduate and Master’s students. Proof of student status is required.

See the registration page for further details.

Eligibility

A participant can receive a maximum of two ECSTS and two ESTS during their career. In other words, applicants who have received two Roland Schlich travel support in a category in the past are not eligible to apply for that category again.

• Early Career Scientist’s Travel Support (ECSTS)

Roland Schlich Travel Support scheme is specifically for early-career scientists (ECS). The nominee needs to satisfy the EGU definition of an ECS by 1 January 2022: be a student, a Ph.D. candidate, or a practicing scientist who received their highest certificate (e.g., BSc, MSc, or Ph.D.) within the past seven years. The seven-year period can be extended to allow for periods when the scientist was not working in science because of, but not limited to, caring and/or parental responsibilities, disability, personal illness, community obligations, or national service.

Participants from low-income countries in Europe are particularly encouraged to apply for travel support as dedicated funds are earmarked for this group. These countries include the following: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey, and Ukraine.

Additionally, earmarked funds are also dedicated towards early-career scientists from low-, lower-middle, and upper-middle-income non-European countries as determined by the World Bank designation of Gross National Income per capita.

• Established Scientist’s Travel Support (ESTS)

A very limited amount of the overall budget of the conference is reserved for assisting established scientists from low- and lower-middle-income countries as determined by the World Bank designation of Gross National Income per capita.

Benefits

• Financial assistance towards travel expenditures may be provided at the discretion of the support selection committee to a maximum of €300.
