FENS supports the African Society of Neuroscientists meeting 2017 (SONA)

The support is intended to support young investigators (MSc to Postdoc level) to attend SONA conference 2017 in Entebbe, Uganda.

These grants – of up to € 1.200 each – are intended to cover the SONA 2017 registration fee and the associated travel expenses. The candidates should reside in a European country and be members of a FENS society. The successful candidates should be presenting a poster or talk.

The organising committee will notify successful candidates (only) and publish the list of the travel grant awardees on the SONA website by mid-May.

Candidates should not be the recipients of other grants related to the SONA 2017. Applicants attending SONA 2017 only if awarded with a travel grant can register after the announcement of the travel grant awardees, and pay the early-bird registration fee.

Application closed on 30 April 2017. The travel grant recipients are:

        – Maina Mahmoud Bukar, University of Sussex, United Kingdom

        – Jens Klinzing, University of Tuebingen, Germany

        – Matthijs Verhoog, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands
