• Put your research topic in a wider context of general research.
• Provide a concise description of your results.

The decision on who will receive the conference grant will be made by the organization committee of the Beilstein Symposium based on the points mentioned above.

What does the conference grant include?

The conference grant covers the mandatory “conference package” valued at EUR 387 which includes all lunches, dinners and coffee breaks from dinner on Monday, September 22 to dinner on Thursday, September 25 and admits access to the conference room. The Beilstein-Institut will directly purchase the conference package for each awardee. This conference grant is in addition to the waived conference fee of EUR 200 that all poster presenters receive.

Who can apply?

Only participants who apply to present a poster are eligible to apply for a conference grant as well. In addition, the following conditions must be met:

• You are an undergraduate or graduate student or a maximum of five years after your PhD.
• You must work at a university, public research institute or other non-profit organization.

Please note that eligible candidates for the Conference Grant will automatically be considered for the 3DMM2O poster award.

This initiative, sponsored by the 3DMM2O Cluster of Excellence, aims to enrich the experience of early-career researchers by providing meaningful recognition and practical support to the three best poster presenters.

Participants who present a poster and meet the conditions below will automatically be considered for this award:

• You are an undergraduate or graduate student or a maximum of five years after your PhD.
• You must work at a university, public research institute or other non-profit organization.

That’s why we request your CV when you apply to present a poster and wish to be considered for this award. Please note that participants applying for the Conference Grant must also meet these criteria and will therefore automatically be considered for this award.

The evaluation and selection process will take place during the symposium, and the deadline to participate corresponds with the deadline to apply to present a poster.
