How to apply for poster grants from NITO BFI's study fund

Are you a member of NITO BFI and are you going to present a poster at a course or conference? Then you can apply for financial support from NITO BFI's study fund.

In order to be granted funds from the fund, the applicant must be a member both at the time of application and at the time of payment. The applicant must have been a continuous working member of NITO BFI for the past three years. In addition, it is assumed that the applicant has paid the membership fee.

Special criteria for poster grants

  • Support is only given to one and the same line once.
  • If several authors have contributed to a poster, they must all apply at the same time. The grant is divided equally between the authors.
  • It is possible to apply for a grant before the abstract has been accepted, but the abstract must be attached to the application. In the event of payment, documentation is required that the poster has been accepted.
  • It is not possible to apply for support for poster grants more often than every other year.
  • The Board of Directors of the Student Fund differentiates the amount of support according to country, city and relevance. Applications for the same event are treated equally.
