EFP Scholarships
Young parasitologists are encouraged to participate in European meetings and to contribute to the development of parasitology in Europe. To support this, the European Federation of Parasitologists grants student scholarships.
EMOP XIV:
Up to 20 student scholarships covering EMOP XIV registration fees will be offered. Travel and accommodation expenses are not covered by the grant.
Application is open to students (up to PhD / doctorate level) up to the age of 30 years, who are members of a member society of the EFP; members of suspended member societies cannot apply. Applicants should participate in parasitological research carried out in an EFP member country and are required to give a presentation at EMOP XIV, either orally or by poster.
Ten of these scholarships are targeted for members of societies from lower income countries (see EMOP XIV registration page).
How to apply:
The following documents must be submitted:
- The completed application form, signed by the candidate and the head of the department where the research was carried out. (download the form)
- Proof of registration for the congress. At registration, the EMOP organizers should be informed of the intention to apply for the scholarship.
