Advice for organizers
To assist you when applying for funding and to increase the chances of your Courses & Workshops application being selected for funding, please consider the following points regarding:
Applicant & Co-organizers
- It is encouraged to rotate the organizing committee for repeat meetings.
- Co-organizers should be from more than one institute, ideally from several countries.
Dates & Location
- Duration should be sufficient to cover the topic in sufficient depth.
- The venue should have suitable facilities and preferably accommodation should be onsite or close-by.
Topic & Programme
- Topics should be timely and preferably not in an area where there is already an overabundance of meetings.
- If the topic is similar to an on-going EMBO Conference Series, please clearly indicate the unique focus of your meeting.
- Please ensure that feedback from the previous meeting is given to the EMBO Courses & Workshops office prior to submitting your application. If there was any negative feedback please indicate your attempts to rectify these issues in the current application.
- The programme should be sufficiently detailed to list session themes and the status of speakers (either confirmed or unconfirmed) should be clearly stated.
- Enough time should be planned for discussion and there should be sessions that promote interactions between the participants.
- Poster sessions should be held at a time that encourages maximal attendance and in a room with sufficient space.
Participants & Speakers
- The approximate size of the various EMBO funded meetings should be as follows: not more than 25 participants (excluding speakers) for a practical course; not more than 120 participants (including speakers) for a workshop; greater than 150 participants (including speakers) for a conference series.
- Ideally, early stage participants should have the opportunity to attend.
- Not more than 15 % of participants should be from the host country.
- At least two-thirds of participants should be resident in EMBC Member States.
- Participants should not be restricted to pre-defined participants (whether this be an EU-network or other defined group).
- When selecting speakers and participants, you are requested to consider the commitment of EMBO to a reasonable gender balance in all EMBO activities.
- Equally you should try to avoid any significant regional bias.
- There should be enough speakers to cover the topic in sufficient depth but without making the programme overly dense.
- It is expected that at least 50 % of the speakers are different between subsequent conferences in a series.
