Student grants

A limited number of sponsored student grants will be available. Application deadline will likely be in April 2025.

To apply, first create an account on the registration system and log into your account. Then select “Yes” from the drop down menu next to “Are you applying for a student grant?” in your form in the Participant Area. Please also specify whether you intend to attend pre-conference tutorials on Sunday morning (participation in the tutorials is optional but encouraged). Then, by April 28 2025, you need to send the following three documents by email to :

1. A copy of the abstract for which you are the presenting author,
2. A letter of recommendation from your supervisor,
3. A photo of your current valid student ID card or an official letter from your institution confirming that you are a student.

If your application is successful, your student grant will cover the registration fee, all meals and hotel nights during the conference (4 or 5 nights (if attending Sun morning tutorials) in a *** hotel, twin room – dinner on Monday night is not included). You have to cover your travel costs.
If your application is not successful, we will provide you with instructions for registering as a full participant.

Please note that your abstract will not be automatically transferred into the web database (whether your application is successful or not) so you have to enter it in the Participant Area as any other participant. If you don’t do that, your abstract won’t be included in the program.
