In 2022, ESSE introduces a new category of research support scheme for national associations with tight resources to cover the travel expenses of the parallel lecture speakers from their national associations at the ESSE-16 conference in Mainz. The total ESSE funding offered for this is up to €3,000, and the individual speakers’ travel grants are limited to €500.
The parallel lecturers must be members of national associations affiliated to ESSE (according to the official membership list submitted in November 2021).
Application procedure: National associations apply for the travel grant for the parallel lecturer(s) to the ESSE Secretary, at least three months before the ESSE conference.
The application should provide the information about the parallel lecturer (name, affiliation, current position, title of the parallel lecture), as well as the provisional travel budget.
Mode of payment: Once granted by the Executive decision, the funding is paid out to the national association after the ESSE conference, according to the expense documentation, the same as for other ESSE travel expenses.
