Each year, EERA offers financial support to 20 promising emerging researchers from Eastern European and other Low GDP countries to enable their conference participation. The ECER conference bursary (previously the ECER scholarship) consists of free entry to the ECER Main Conference and a 500 € travel bursary. Please note that the award does not cover free entry to the Emerging Researchers' Conference (35 € for low GDP students).

To keep informed about application requirements and deadlines, please check this page or sign up for the Emerging Researchers' Group mailing list.
