Scientists can apply for funding to organize an EMBO Workshop. EMBO can contribute up to a maximum of 42,500 euros (35,000 euros of core funding plus 5,500 euros exclusively for travel grants and registration fee waivers, 1,000 euros for childcare grants and 1,000 euros for accessibility grants) per workshop.
EMBO supports the organizers by:
- Creating a dedicated workshop webpage, including registration and abstract submission forms
- Providing a poster and helping to advertise the meeting
- Offering funds for an EMBO Young Investigator Lecture, EMBO Policy Lecture or an EMBO Women in Science Lecture.
EMBO offers travel grants, childcare grants and accessibility grants for each event. Participants of EMBO Workshops should apply directly to the organizers for these grants.
Organizers are encouraged to experiment with hybrid or virtual conference formats. Organizers will receive an additional €3,000 on top of the core funding to cover the extra costs of running a hybrid event. At the committee’s discretion, and if well justified, such as when substantial and costly measures are implemented to significantly enhance the virtual participant experience, this amount may be increased to a maximum of €5,000.
