Each year, up to 8 grants of € 400 per person are awarded to support the participation of early-career researchers at the annual meetings of the GfBS with an original scientific contribution (poster or oral presentation). A simple informal application must be submitted to the managing director of our executive board. The first 8 applications received will be funded. Repeat funding for the same individual in different years is possible; however, first-time applicants will be given priority over repeat applications. Eligible applicants are members of the GfBS up to the completion of their doctoral qualification (Dr. rer. nat. / PhD). The deadline for applications for conference expense grants is the same as the respective deadline for submitting conference contributions.
