EMBO Practical Courses
EMBO Practical Courses provide training in new techniques for researchers and core facility staff, enabling them to implement the techniques in their laboratories. The courses should last between five and ten days and are limited to 25 participants. EMBO provides funding and assists organizers in promoting the courses and creating webpages with a registration and abstract submission system.
Benefits
Scientists can apply for funding to organize an EMBO Practical Course. EMBO contributes up to 42,500 euros (€35,000 of core funding plus €5,500 exclusively for travel grants and registration fee waivers, €1,000 for childcare grants and €1,000 for accessibility grants) per course.
EMBO supports the organizers by:
- Creating a dedicated practical course webpage, including registration and abstract submission forms
- Providing a poster and helping to advertise the meeting.
EMBO offers travel grants, childcare grants and accessibility grants for each event. Participants of EMBO Practical Courses should apply directly to the organisers for these grants.
Organizers are encouraged to experiment with hybrid or virtual conference formats. An extra 10,000 euros will be provided if organizers choose a hybrid format to cover the additional cost incurred for providing the online options.
Application
Applications for EMBO Practical Courses are accepted twice a year and must be submitted through the online system. Organizers are advised to apply as early as possible in the calendar year preceding the proposed date of the practical course.
Application process:
- The deadlines for applications are 1 March 2025 and 1 July 2025, 12:00 (noon) CE(S)T.
- Applicants will be asked to complete an online application form and an offline application form: the online form for basic data, such as title, organizers, abstract, keywords etc. and the budget; the offline form as the main application form (in MS Word format) for detailed information, including speaker list and programme. The offline form must be submitted as a PDF via the application web site. The separation of the main application from the basic information will allow organiser groups to work together to finalise their draft. The information requested is the same as previously.
Please review the application guidelines for further details before submitting your application.
Please note: For repeating practical courses, a new application is required for each individual course within a series, which will be evaluated competitively.
Applicants are asked to provide:
- A list of the organizers
- Proposed title and topic of the course
- Reasons for holding a meeting on the proposed topic
- Information on any competing or similar meetings held in the current, proposed or following year
- Proposed date and location
