EPS-QEOD Travel Grant Student Awards (TGSA) – History
EPS-QEOD Travel Grant Student Awards will be attributed on behalf of the European Physical Society through its Quantum Electronics and Optics Division (QEOD) and Young Minds Action Committee in order to attend Nanometa-2022 conference. The Awards consisting of travel grants are given to PhD Students wishing to attend an EPS-QEOD sponsored conference and whose scientific contribution in optics and photonics is of the highest quality. The goal of this award is to help talented young scientists to contribute to EPS-QEOD sponsored European conferences in optics by taking in charge part of their expenses to the conference. Nanometa-2024 is eligible for theses Awards.
The grants are awarded to PhD Students having not yet defended their thesis at the dates of the QEOD-sponsored conference. Recipients must have an accepted oral or poster contribution at the conference.
Only one grant is awarded per person and per research group. Applicants from developing countries usually receive a particular attention.
