Travel grants
EHA offers travel grants especially intended to support young investigators to be able to come to the congress and have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the high-quality education and cutting-edge science. Furthermore the congress is an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues and create your international network. A number of travel grants have been reserved for abstract authors from countries with lower- and lower/middle-income economies.
The travel grants, consisting of € 500 and free registration for the Congress, will be available for investigators with accepted abstracts only. The Scientific Program Committee will decide, according to the scores of the abstracts, which abstract receives a travel grant. This will be announced to the first author by e-mail before April 30, 2013.
