Travel grants for students
To encourage young people to attend the annual meeting, the General Meeting of the EUBS in 1997 agreed to allocate sponsorship to be offered to students as travel grants to the Society's annual meetings.


The following conditions apply:
  1. The applicant shall be registered as a full time university student in a relevant field.
  2. The applicant shall be working towards a scientific degree with relevance to diving or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  3. The applicant shall submit an abstract to that year's annual meeting, which must be accepted for presentation, and provide a full paper by the deadline for inclusion in the Proceedings; this paper will be reviewed for publication in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Journal. Although final publication can not be guaranteed, the Editors of DHM will assist in every way they can to allow the paper to be published.
  4. Number of students receiving a travel grant may vary from one year to another, depending on number of applicants.
  5. Absolute size of each individual travel grant may vary according to actual size of travel expenses, but the relative amount, i.e. percent of travel cost on economy class, will be the same for all recipients in one particular year.
  6. Deadline for the submission will be announced in the second announcement for the actual meeting.

The application must include:
  1. A statement from the student's supervisor confirming that the student is registered as a full time university student in a relevant field and is currently working towards a scientific degree.
  2. An abstract submitted for presentation in the meeting.
  3. A detailed budget on travel expenses to the meeting.

Applications should be submitted to hyperbaric@abdn.ac.uk by 22 June 2009.
