Travel Grants
ESOF2006 is an interdisciplinary non-profit event seeking to foster debate on science and society. It relies exclusively on its partners for the necessary means. ESOF2006 is therefore not in a position to provide funding for journalists or scientists. However, the following organisations are offering travel grants for scientists and journalists, who wish to participate at ESOF2006.
1. Young scientists from Central/Eastern Europe
Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft will generously support young researchers from Eastern and Central Europe wishing to attend ESOF2006. The Euroscience office will be in charge of organising the selection procedure. Please note that the selection procedure has been completed.
