Bursaries and Facilities
We are aware that attending ECVP may be expensive, especially for people coming from economically disadvantaged countries. This year ECVP can offer some economical support and some free/reduced price accommodation at the University campus student housing (http://www.ardiss.fvg.it/).
We will consider applications from students coming from low-income countries, as well as from non-students who are temporarily without a salary (e.g., young researchers looking for a job after finishing a PhD).
Participants can apply from their personal area, by completing a dedicated form by April 15th. Bursaries and free/reduced price accommodations will be assigned by organizers, whose decisions are unappealable.
Applicants will be notified about organizers decisions by May 31st Please note that the bursaries will be delivered on site, only if the beneficiary attends the conference. Otherwise the bursaries will be re-assigned to other applicants.
Tom Troscianko Memorial Award - AVA
We have the pleasure to announce that once again, to celebrate Tom’s contribution to the field of vision science, and to reflect his wide interests, AVA and ECVP will be collaborating to offer the Tom Troscianko Award to fund young scientists attendance at ECVP while encouraging innovative science and adventurous travel!
The award will be for up to £2,000 and should cover travel and registration costs (etc.) for ECVP.
Applications are welcome from early career scientists undertaking a PhD or with a maximum of 5 year post-PhD experience.
To be eligible for an award the applicant must visit at least one location (preferably more), in addition to that of the intended ECVP meeting.
The additional activities can be for purposes of the candidate’s choosing but they should be of a scientific nature. Examples of visits include but are by no means limited to: collecting samples, observing a natural phenomenon, visiting a collection / museum, collecting data, and laboratory visits. The additional visit(s) may be to any location(s), and would normally occur either immediately before, or after, the conference, or both.
If the proposal requires unusual access to facilities (including laboratory visits), a letter of agreement from the custodian / lab leader must be attached to the application.
While the actual funding will be awarded in advance of the trip, award holders will be invited to receive a (nominal) presentation at the ECVP business meeting and to supply a short written report to be displayed on the AVA’s website.
