Apply for a training funding

One of the objectives of BioConvS is to support technical training around its thematics (bioproduction, biotherapy, synthetic biology). Since the members of BioConvS vary greatly in their needs in terms of training, we decided to allocate funding on demand, as no one knows our community’s needs better than our community itself.

Eligibility

You can apply to get a BioConvS sponsorship for your training under the following eligibility criteria:

  • You work in a lab affiliated to BioConvS (affiliation link)
  • You seek technical training in a field or technique related to our thematics
  • Your training is not already receiving funding from the Région Ile-de-France and you are not a DIM laureate (if you are, you already have access to funding for trainings through the additional costs envelope of your fellowship)
  • You have to present the program of the training
  • You can apply for a training grant of up to 1000€, but note that a smaller grant might be allocated at the discretion of the jury

Applications will be submitted to the vote of our Executive Committee who gathers on average once a month, so please plan in advance if you want to apply. You will be subsequently notified if your application was successful or not. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, until yearly funds are exhausted.

 

Obligations

If your event is approved and receives funding, you commit to the following points:

  • Provide a written certificate of attendance to the training
  • Your lab will advance the costs of the training and will be reimbursed upon presentation of the certificate of attendance and of the financial documents required

In order to apply for a DIM funding, you have to accept the aforementioned commitments
