Travel Grants

EEM 2026 is committed to supporting the next generation of researchers and offers eight travel grants up to the amount of EUR 1,000 to outstanding Young Investigators.

Grant recipients will be selected based on the quality of their submitted abstracts. The eight selected candidates will be invited to present their research during a dedicated Young Investigators Session on 18 August 2026, from 09.00-12.20.

Each presenter will have 15 minutes for presentation followed by 5 minutes for discussion, providing an excellent platform to showcase their work to an international audience of experts and peers.

This is a unique opportunity to present your research. We encourage all eligible Young Investigators to submit their abstracts and apply for this exciting opportunity.
