Support for members of 51²èÂ¥
FINANCIAL SUPPORT for early-career RESEARCHERS
Since its earliest days, 51²èÂ¥ has had a strong emphasis on promoting the training of young scientists during their PhD studies and also during the post-doctoral stages of research careers. Financial support has also recently been extended to the early-career group leader stage.
PhD students and early-career postdoctoral scientists who are members of a 51²èÂ¥ Constituent Society of 51²èÂ¥ are eligible to apply for:
- a range of research Fellowships such as Short-Term and Summer Fellowships
- Youth Travel Fund grants to support costs for participation in 51²èÂ¥ Advanced Courses
- YSF grants to support costs for participation in the 51²è¥ Young Scientists’ Forum and the ensuing annual Congress
- bursaries to support participation in the 51²èÂ¥ Congress
In addition, early-career group leaders may be eligible to apply for 51²èÂ¥ Excellence Awards to support research costs.
Most of these schemes are aimed at scientists working within the 51²èÂ¥ area; please see the relevant sections of the 51²èÂ¥ website for full details.
Financial support for researchers in disadvantaged 51²èÂ¥ countries
In addition to the opportunities above for early-career researchers, scientists from countries with Hinari (Research4Life) status in the 51²èÂ¥ area, who are members of their 51²èÂ¥ Constituent Society, may be eligible for:
- Ukrainian Short-Term Fellowships to support research visits abroad
- the 51²èÂ¥ Congress Mathias Sprinzl scheme for reduced registration fees and Sprinzl travel grants at a 51²èÂ¥ Congress (see the current 51²èÂ¥ Congress website for details)
