Funding participation in events

Funding participation in events

The aim of financing the participation of Polish scientists in international conferences, workshops, schools, or bilateral meetings related to XFEL research or XFEL technology is to promote and support research conducted by Polish scientists using XFEL, establish contacts between Polish researchers and the XFEL user community, and enhance scientific competencies related to the use of XFEL and complementary techniques.

Within the framework of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education grant, it is possible to obtain refinancing for participation in international conferences on research using XFEL.

Persons eligible for refinancing are scientists, doctoral students and students of Polish scientific units.

 

In the coming half-year (until end of July), we recommend attending the following events:

  • 19-23.05.2025: Research School “Ultrafast phenomena in Chemistry: Laser-matter interactions at the femto- and atto-second time scales” , Zaragoza, Spain;

The deadline for submitting reimbursement applications for participation in the listed events is April 6, 2025. In exceptional cases, subject to the availability of funds, applications submitted after the specified deadline or for other (unlisted) international conferences related to XFEL research will also be considered.

 

At the same time, we would like to invite you to participate in sessions on research using XFEL, organized at national conferences:

For ISSRNS, there is an opportunity to receive reimbursement for the conference attendance (according to the rules mentioned above), provided that an abstract related to XFEL research is submitted
