E-NICHE is pleased to announce it will award one grant to an E-NICHE member to support attending a Dissemination Conference.
Dissemination Conferences are events or conferences not organized by the COST Action where action participants present research or activities directly related to the aims of one of the work packages of the action. The maximum amount awarded is 1000 euros. Eligible expenses are travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses, registration fee, and other costs directly related to the conference contribution. The call opens on April 5, 2025 and the first eligible applicant to apply and pass the selection criteria will be awarded the grant.

An application is considered eligible if:
- The candidate is a participant of E-NICHE;
- The conference is clearly related to chemical ecology and of sufficiently high quality;
- The conference is not (co)organized by E-NICHE.
We particularly invite YRIs to apply and the grant is primarily aimed at supporting oral dissemination, but if you applied for a talk and were selected for a poster presentation instead, you are still eligible for the grant.
