The purpose of the conference/workshop grants is to encourage talented researchers and graduate students who do not

have access to funding to attend the EHPS conference and the CREATE and SYNERGY workshops.

These grants are available:
EHPS Conference grants for graduate students and researchers who plan to attend the EHPS conference. Each grant is for a maximum of 900 Euros toward conference registration, accommodation and travel.
CREATE grants for graduate students who plan to attend the CREATE workshop. Each grant is for a maximum of 1000 Euros toward workshop registration, conference fee, accommodation and travel.
Synergy grants for researchers who plan to attend the Synergy workshop. Each grant is for a maximum of 1100 Euros toward workshop registration, conference fee, accommodation and travel.

Deadlines:
Grants are announced via EHPS/CREATE/SYNERGY mailing lists and websites
Usually the deadline is three month prior the conference – this year’s deadline: April 10th, 2013
