The SCSC offers a limited number of travel grants each year to support researchers who would otherwise be unable to finance their participation in the annual meeting. Priority is given to applicants from low-income countries and those who have no personal income, institutional funding, or scholarship support available to cover their travel expenses.

The support is as follows:

• No registration fee
• Travel support (not covering the full amount of costs):
  • Max. €300 for applicants travelling from within the continent where the meeting takes place.
  • Max. €600 for applicants travelling from outside the continent where the meeting takes place.

 In all cases, the grant cannot exceed the actual eligible expenses incurred if these are lower than the maximum grant amount (for instance when travelling from the same country where the meeting takes place).

 Travel grants are awarded on a competitive basis, according to the ranking of submitted abstracts as evaluated by the Scientific Programme Committee.

Travel support deadline: 15.11.2026 (as abstract submission deadline) 
Acceptance communication: 15.01.2027 (with communication of contribution acceptance)
