    Eligibility Criteria

    Award Amount

    Two grants will be awarded, each one up to a maximum of € 750.

    Application procedure

    Applications for grants will be evaluated by a committee consisting of the TC6 chair and the chairs of the TC6 working groups 6.2, 6.3 and 6.8. Grants will be awarded based on the evaluating committee’s assessment of the applicants’ genuine financial needs, the potential benefit to his/her education, research, and career, and the potential benefit to the conference.
