Travel Awards

The ESCAN Board is offering 10 “Conference Fee and Travel Costs” waivers for ESCAN members (pre-doctoral and PhD students) who have financial difficulties to afford the registration fee and the travel costs to attend the 2024 ESCAN conference in Ghent (Belgium). The waiver consists of:

  1. A waiver of the Early Bird registration fee for ESCAN 2024
  2. Up to 500 Euros reimbursement for travel costs

Please send a request for financial support to attend ESCAN 2024 to escan@escaneurosci.eu and include the following:

  1. Your name, affiliation, position and contact information
  2. A brief statement (half a page) to explain your motivation to attend ESCAN 2024 and your financial circumstances
  3. A formal letter from your university or supervisor in which it is stated that the conference fee and travel costs will not be reimbursed

If you receive the waiver, please note that ESCAN will reimburse the costs that you will make to travel to Ghent for ESCAN 2024 for up to 500 Euros. In order to receive the reimbursement you will need to submit documentation supporting your travel costs (e.g., copies of tickets and receipts). Only ESCAN members will be eligible for the ESCAN 2024 conference waiver.

The deadline for submitting a request is March 1st 2024. We aim to inform applicants who will receive the waiver by March 18th 2024 (which is well before the Early Bird deadline early April 2024). If we receive a large number of requests, the ESCAN Board will allocate the waiver through a lottery.
