EHRS Travel Grants 2022
The European Hair Research Society (EHRS) Board awards travel grants to support early career scientists and clinicians to attend our conferences. This year, for the First Barcelona Hair Meeting, 29th September – 1st October, the EHRS is offering travel grants to facilitate attendance at the meeting. Grants are awarded to encourage attendance by younger investigators, who are submitting an abstract for oral or poster presentation at the meeting. The grant of 500 Euros is designed to help cover the applicants’ travel, hotel and/or other expenses. The EHRS will also provide complimentary conference registration to travel grant winners.
This year we have 10 grants available. Of these, 5 will preferentially be awarded to Ukrainian Hair Research Society members.
