Scientists who wish to apply for the EMS Young Scientist Conference Award (YSCA), a Tromp Foundation Travel Award to Young Scientists (TFTAYS), or a registration fee waiver must be the principal author of their contribution and must submit an abstract by 2 March 2026 (for YSCA) or by 27 March 2026 (for TFTAYS or waiver).

  • Please note that all support applicants have to pay Abstract Processing Fees (APF) at the time of submitting the abstract.
  • Please note that support through any of these schemes will only be granted to applicants intending to participate onsite at the meeting in Utrecht.
  • Each support is granted to the contact author for a particular abstract. Should this abstract be withdrawn before the meeting or should this abstract not be presented at the meeting, although the author who has been granted support is present at the meeting, the support grant has to be returned, i.e. the author in question will be asked to register and, if necessary, to pay back the money received.
  • Awards and registration fee waivers cannot be transferred.
