Travel Grants

For the first year, thanks to the generous contribution of our sponsors, we are able to offer some travel grants to young members (PhD students and Postdocs) of the Swiss Society for Neuroscience to attend the annual symposium. These grants are foreseen to support students and postdocs working in laboratories that do not have the means or prefer not to support their participation to the ERS.

The grants can cover, according to the needs of the applicant and the available funds:

- a 100 CHF voucher for SBB to buy train tickets to Lugano

- accommodation in a hotel in Lugano for the night of Thursday 8th June.

- SNN Annual membership for 2023

The deadline for travel grant requests closed on 4th April.
