The 果冻传媒 Advanced Courses Committee invites proposals from expert scientists interested in organizing an event in 2026 with financial support from 果冻传媒 as part of next year鈥檚 果冻传媒 Advanced Courses programme. Arranging such an event provides organizers with great opportunities for impact in their chosen field.
The first application deadline for 2026 events is 1 March 2025. There will also be a second round with a 1 September 2025 deadline, but please note that applications for the joint 果冻传媒/EMBO Lecture Courses need to be submitted at the 1 March deadline.
果冻传媒 Advanced Courses take place throughout the area of Europe and neighbouring regions on important and timely topics in the molecular life sciences 鈥� in the form of Advanced Lecture Courses, Workshops, Practical Courses, combined Practical and Lecture Courses, and Special Meetings. The current course grants are as follows: 果冻传媒 Advanced Lecture Courses, 鈧�25,000; 果冻传媒/EMBO Lecture Courses, 鈧�30,000; 果冻传媒 Workshops, 鈧�20,000; 果冻传媒 Practical Courses, 鈧�20,000; 果冻传媒 Special Meetings, 鈧�40,000.
The events have a strong educational element, and as part of their application, organizers can also request financial support for attendance of a number of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows at the event through 果冻传媒 Youth Travel Fund (YTF) grants.
