EMBO Workshops bring together scientists to present and discuss the latest findings in their subject areas related to the life sciences. Scientists can apply to organize a conference in their field. This bottom-up approach ensures that the portfolio of scientific meetings funded by EMBO reflects the needs and developments of the scientific community.
In addition to providing the basic funding for the meeting, EMBO assists organizers in promoting the workshop and creating a webpage with a registration and abstract submission system.
Scientists can apply for funding to organize an EMBO Workshop. EMBO can contribute up to a maximum of 42,500 euros (35,000 euros of core funding plus 5,500 euros exclusively for travel grants and registration fee waivers, 1,000 euros for childcare grants and 1,000 euros for accessibility grants) per workshop.
EMBO supports the organizers by:
EMBO offers travel grants, childcare grants and accessibility grants for each event. Participants of EMBO Workshops should apply directly to the organizers 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.
Applications for EMBO Workshops 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 workshop.
