SSAI and SYIS TRAVEL GRANTS FOR YOUNG INVESTIGATORS TO WIRM 2024


The Swiss Society for Allergology and Immunology (SSAI) together with the Swiss Young Immunologists Society (SYIS)
is committed to supporting young investigators in the fields of Allergology and Immunology by providing them with opportunities to present their research at both national and international conferences and meetings.


We are delighted to announce that SSAI, in collaboration with SYIS, will be sponsoring up to 8 Travel Grants at CHF 700.00 each for the WIRM 2024

  • To ensure fair and transparent allocation of these grants, the following guidelines and rules have been established:
  • SSAI travel grants are open to PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, or assistant doctors who are within 6 years of receiving their PhD or MD degree.
  • Applicants for SSAI travel grants must be active members of SSAI and SYIS at the time of their submission.
  • Applicants are required to actively participate in the meeting by presenting a poster or giving a talk, either in person at the physical event or virtually for online meetings.
  • The maximum grant amount per recipient is CHF 700. This grant can be used to cover expenses related to travel
    (2nd class train tickets or economy flight fares), registration fees, and hotel accommodations.
  • Young investigators are allowed to apply for a maximum of one travel grant per calendar year. Applications must be submitted individually.
     

Applicants are expected to submit the following documents as a part of their application:

Their CV, the abstract of their presentation, a list of their publications, and an estimate of their travel expenses.

Applications must be sent as a single PDF file via email to office@ssai.ch and must be received by December 01, 2023.


Selection Criteria: The primary criterion for selection is the scientific quality of the submitted abstract.
