Conference expenses
Aim
The Faculty financially supports researchers who actively participate in conferences with international recognition.
Who can apply?
- All predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers at the FBE.
Requirements
- You have to apply before your departure date.
- You must attempt to secure funding from FWO unless you do not meet their requirements. If you have received FWO funding, notify research.fbw@ugent.be, so we can cancel your application.
If you were too late to apply at FWO, your application for faculty mobility funding won't be accepted as it is possible to apply at FWO without an official acceptance of the abstract by the conference organizer. - You have to actively participate in the conference. (e.g., presentation, presenting author of a poster, organizer,...).
Grant

Within Europe: 500 euro
Outside Europe: 1.000 euro
- During your predoctoral period, a maximum of 1.500 euro of conference/workshop expenses can be granted over several applications.
- During your postdoctoral period, a maximum of 1.500 euro of conference/workshop expenses can be granted over several applications.
*After approval for reimbursement the lump sum is transferred to your supervisor. Your department will only reimburse the actually agreed expenses.
