Scientists can apply for funding to organize an EMBO Practical Course. EMBO contributes up to 42,500 euros (€35,000 of core funding plus €5,500 exclusively for travel grants and registration fee waivers, €1,000 for childcare grants and €1,000 for accessibility grants) per course.
EMBO supports the organizers by:
- Creating a dedicated practical course webpage, including registration and abstract submission forms
- Providing a poster and helping to advertise the meeting.
EMBO offers travel grants, childcare grants and accessibility grants for each event. Participants of EMBO Practical Courses should apply directly to the organisers for these grants.
Organizers are encouraged to experiment with hybrid or virtual conference formats. An extra 10,000 euros will be provided if organizers choose a hybrid format to cover the additional cost incurred for providing the online options.
