Conference Travel Awards and Prizes Available for Postgraduate Students and ECRs

The National Stem Cell Foundation of Australia (NSCFA) together with the ASSCR is generously sponsoring a large number of Postgraduate students and early career researcher (ECRs) to attend and present their research at the 2022 annual meeting. ASSCR will also provide two conference travel awards for Postgraduate students and ECRs from New Zealand institutions. These Awards will contribute to the cost of attending the meeting (full registration fee and an average airfare cost based on the geographical location of awardees).

Eligibility

To be eligible, Postgraduate students and ECRs from Australia and New Zealand must be current members of ASSCR and submit an abstract by midnight Friday, 12 August 2022, regardless of requests for oral or poster presentations as all abstracts will be peer reviewed.
