EMERALD-MGED 10: Three funded bursaries for PhD students from the European Union member countries
The EMERALD consortium would like to announce three travel grants for PhD students who are citizens of the European Union member states to help them to participate in the Annual Microarray Gene Expression Data Society meeting MGED 10 in Brisbane.
Each scholarship will pay up to Euro 1500 towards travel expenses. Eligible candidates must be a presenting first author on an abstract for poster or oral presentation and must be a student at the time of registering for the conference. They should confirm their interest and eligibility for the fellowship by sending an e-mail to
Scholarships are intended for students who otherwise could not afford to attend after exclusion of all other possible institutional/group assistance schemes. Applicants must submit an abstract through the MGED10 abstract submission page no later than 24th June, and will receive notification by early July.
Recipients of a scholarship will be informed how they will receive refunds of documented travel expenses. The EMERALD Coordination Action aims at developing and implementing quality metrics and microarray data quality standards. Abstracts related to microarray data quality and standards will be given preference.
