ERS sponsorship
Sponsorship opportunities are available to the corresponding author of an accepted abstract from Eastern and Central European countries and developing countries. The ERS offers two levels of sponsorship, Gold and Silver, which are awarded depending on the quality of the abstract as evaluated by the Scientific Programme Committee. - Gold Sponsorship: the corresponding author receives a fixed amount to cover travel and accommodation expenses, free Congress registration and two Postgraduate Courses;
- Silver Sponsorship: the corresponding author receives a fixed amount to cover accommodation expenses, free Congress registration and two Postgraduate Courses.
In addition, the ERS is pleased to support young scientists attending the ERS Annual Congress. The ERS Young Scientist Sponsorship is intended for young scientists, from all countries, who are nonmedical doctors, and who would not normally receive support from pharmaceutical companies to attend the Congress. Grants of € 600 intended to cover travel and accommodation, in addition to free registration to the Barcelona Congress, are granted to a limited number of presenting authors of the selected abstracts. Applicants for ERS Young Scientist Sponsorship should be aged 35 years or under on 18 September 2010 and hold a PhD with no medical degree. Application must be made on the electronic abstract submission form. ERS sponsorship will be granted to the authors of the best abstracts based on the reviewers’ scores and comments. Candidates will be informed of the Scientific Committee’s decision in May 2010.
