EASO Travel Grants

The deadline for awards applications has now passed.

Five Travel Grants with a value of up to €2000 each are available to young investigators who are basic scientists, clinical researchers or allied health professionals.  EASO Travel Grants are only available to those who would otherwise be precluded from attending the European Congress on Obesity for financial reasons. The grants will assist with complimentary full congress registration, three nights’ accommodation, and return economy flights from place of residence to the congress.  The EASO Secretariat will make all arrangements on the behalf of the winners - no cash equivalent is available.

The deadline for receipt of applications is 15th November 2008 – late applications will not be considered. 

Award Winners will be announced in March 2009 – all applicants will be contacted by email to announce the EASO Executive Committee decision.

To be eligible to apply for an EASO Travel Grant, you must:

• Be 35 years or younger at the time of the congress
• Have carried out your work in Europe
• Be a member of an EASO affiliated national obesity association.

Guidance for your application:

In your application you should justify why you require support to travel to the ECO congress. Please include also a short description outlining your work and your contributions to the scientific community and field of obesity research.
