Basic Science Meeting Grants

The European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) offers 100 Basic Science Meeting Grants worth up to €400 each to ESE Members working in basic research. These grants help cover the cost of attending the annual European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) in person. The grants are available only to ESE Members and can be used for payment towards travel, accommodation, or registration. Grants are paid to applicants after the event upon receipt of an expense claim form and supporting receipts or documentation, which must be submitted within 6 weeks of attending ECE. To be eligible, applicants must be presenting authors of an accepted abstract in basic research at ECE and must be either an Early Career Member of ESE or a full ESE Member from a low or middle income country as classified by the World Bank. Members from Ukraine are especially encouraged to apply and do not need to meet standard criteria. Only one grant per member is available for attendance at ECE, and delegates who are fully funded by industry are not eligible. The Treasurer evaluates applications, with consideration given to the length of time the applicant has been an ESE member.
