YRI Conference grants are awarded by the Management Committee to young researchers and innovators affiliated in a COST member Country or a Near Neighbour Country (NNC), to present their own work (poster/oral presentation) at a high-level conference, not necessarily in a COST country.

YRI Conference Grants:

• help Young Researchers and Innovators to gain knowledge and to establish a strong network in the research community through sharing their work;
• increase the visibility of the Action;
• provide contribution for travelling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, registration fee, printing of scientific poster and overall effort.

YRI Conference benefit to:

• YRI Conference Grantee: receives support for attending and presenting their work (poster/oral presentation) at a conference and can establish new contacts for future collaborations.

YRI conference grants provide contribution for travelling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, registration fee, printing of scientific poster and overall effort.

The amount is decided by the Action MC or Core Group on proposal of the evaluators and should reflect the duration and location of the Conference and the actual conference Dissemination fee.

Calls for YRI Conference grant applications will be regularly published over UniDive’s duration. Please, check the YRI conference calls page and the unidive-all mailing list.
