Mobility grant
PRIMATOLOGISTS FROM OUTSIDE EUROPE
The EFP is offering 4 to 6 mobility grants for primatologists from primate-range countries (excluding Japan), which will be awarded primarily to students, to enable them to attend the 11th Conference of the European Federation of Primatology, which will take place in Montpellier, France, from June 29th to July 3rd.
Each grant will cover the registration fees, transportation, and accommodation of the awardees.
FUNDING STRATEGY
- Grants will not be paid directly to the awardees.
- The EFP will cover the registration fees, accommodation, and flight tickets for the beneficiaries, up to a maximum of € 1.500 (any excess may be discussed), and will handle the bookings.
- Reimbursement upon receipt may also be considered for awardees who wish to make their own bookings.
PROCESS AND TIMELINE
- Opening of applications: December 10th, 2025.
- Deadline: January 15th, 2026.
- Decision of the organizing committee: January 21st, 2026.
- Selected candidates will need to provide EFP with the necessary information so that flight bookings can be made immediately.
- Once flights are booked, awardees will have 7 days to schedule an appointment and submit their visa application to the relevant authorities.
Failure to meet these deadlines may result in cancellation of the grant (except in special cases related to local administrative constraints).
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
- Grants are reserved for candidates submitting an oral presentation (regular talk) for the conference. IT IS MANDATORY TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT TO APPLY (with proof of submission).
- Good news: the EFP scientific committee will automatically accept all submitted abstracts (although submissions requesting an oral presentation may be redirected to a poster).
