EMN Travel Bursary Awards

The EMN Travel Bursary Awards aim to provide support for Early-Career scientists* to attend and actively participate in the annual Metabolomics Society conference to promote their professional development. The EMN bursary is intended to support Early-Career members with a special interest in supporting the EMN. The Metabolomics Society strives to promote diversity, inclusion, and equality; therefore, we highly encourage applications from low- and middle-income countries.

*EMN Award Eligibility, applicants must:

  • Be within 5 years of obtaining a PhD or similar degree
  • Be a current/paid member of the Metabolomics Society continuously for at least 3 months prior to the conference.
  • Register for the conference, submit an abstract for poster or oral presentation, and attend in person
  • Attend the EMN events at the conference (e.g. EMN Reception, Career Night and Workshop)
  • Consent to their information being published on Met Soc related platforms

You may apply for the EMN Award + Metabolomics Society Award but may only receive one of these awards. Both oral presentations and poster presentations will be considered for the EMN award.
