Requirements

The lecture must be advertised as EMBO Young Investigator lecture in the conference programme.

The choice of the speaker is made by the organizing committee of the meeting.

The speaker should be introduced at the meeting with some general comments on EMBO and its activities.

It is expected that registration fees be waived for YIP Lectures.

Support level
EMBO will cover travel, subsistence and expenses directly related to the speaker.
Not covered are registration fee, a stipend for the speaker or costs towards the general organization of the meeting. A maximum of EURO 800 is available for support and the specified travel guidelines apply. EURO 1200 will be available for meetings overseas. No advance payments will be made. The lecture must be advertised in the programme as an EMBO Young Investigator Lecture. Normally support will only be provided for one speaker at any meeting. Decisions on the proposals for lectures are made by consultation with the Chair of the EMBO YIP Committee which is possible throughout the year.

Application
Use the application forms to be filled out by the organizers of the meeting and sent in to the EMBO YIP secretariat either by email or post. The EMBO Young Investigator giving the lecture is asked to pay for her/his travel, subsistence and hotel expenses and subsequently claim for refund using the YIP travel expense claim form and YIP lecture expense claim form. Please attach all bills and receipts.

Travel guidelines
EMBO YIP will not refund business or first class tickets. It is expected that an effort will be made to find a cheap airline ticket. If the car is used for travel the equivalent of the costs for a second class railway ticket will be reimbursed. Please include a quote from a travel agent or the railway's web site.
