DGS Junior meeting grants

The DGS offers 5 ‘small’ meeting grants of 500 EUR each to junior scientists who wants to present their work at the forthcoming annual meeting. Every junior DGS-member (pre-PhD) without own budget can apply.

Grants can only be assigned if the abstract is accepted for the conference, and if grant winners agree to present their topic as a poster or talk at the annual meeting in Berlin. If this agreement cannot be maintained, the grant has to be paid back.

Please send your application with a short informal letter and the abstract which has been submitted (poster or talk) to the secretary of the society, Dr. Stéphanie Schai-Braun ([email protected]) until 15 June 2026.
