About TREASURE YRI Conference Grant Program

The TREASURE YRI Conference Grant Program is an initiative under COST Action CA22114 designed to financially support Young Researchers and Innovators attending high-level scientific conferences that are fully organized by third parties. The program aligns with the COST Excellence and Inclusiveness Policy and aims to strengthen early-career researchers’ engagement within the global scientific community.

• Sponsor Organisation: TREASURE COST ACTION

Benefits of TREASURE YRI Conference Grant Program

•  TREASURE is offering three YRI Conference Grants. Up to a total of EUR 1,000.00 can be awarded to the selected applicants for face-to-face conferences, or EUR 500 for online conferences.
• The grant is intended to provide a contribution for travelling, accommodation and subsistence, registration fee and general expenses. It may therefore not cover all the costs associated to the mission.
