The Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB) offers Travel Grants for graduate students from member Countries in Central and Eastern Europe to attend the 2012 FESPB Congress in  Freiburg, Germany. Thirty grants will be available on a competitive basis. Reimbursement of travel expenses and accommodation costs will be provided up to a maximum of 600 Euros immediately after the conference. For this purpose the Grantees should send to the Treasurer of FESPB by registered mail the original documents (ticket receipt, boarding cards, hotel receipt) together with a Reimbursement Form provided at the Congress duly filled. Registration fees will be paid by FESPB directly to the Organizing Committee. Please keep a copy of all documents send for your own records.
