ESPID Annual Meeting Travel & Participation Award

• The Travel/Participation Award will be open to all ESPID members or to those applying for membership.
• IMPORTANT: If you are submitting abstracts for the 2024 Meeting, you must do this BEFORE you complete the award application form. You must submit your abstract before the 09 January 2024 abstract deadline in order to be eligible for consideration. Those who submit one or more abstracts for the Annual ESPID Meeting are much more likely to receive an award. You will need your unique abstract ID’s in order to complete this application and get your maximum score.
• Criteria for success include: professional qualifications and degrees, and previous and current abstract submissions to the ESPID Meeting. There are no exclusions based on age.
• Awards will be made using a points system which includes credit for the number of abstracts submitted to this Annual Meeting and previous Meetings.
• Applications to the scheme must be made online by 09 January 2024.
• Successful applicants will receive benefits including:
  • Travel Award Recipients Only: support for economy class air and/or train travel to Copenhagen, 2-3 star accommodation for up to 5 nights at a designated Hotel, and Free registration to the Meeting.
  • Participation Award Recipients:  Free registration to the Meeting.

Please note the important information below:

• Session Attendance – ESPID requires recipients of the travel award to attend the meeting throughout.
• Registration and Accommodation – Please note that successful applicants will receive a special link to register and book their accommodation for the Meeting. Please note that the conditions of the funding given to ESPID for the award scheme prevent us from reimbursing any registration expenses and hotel bookings you make yourself.
• Travel bookings – Please note that successful applicants will be required to contact our officially appointed travel agent and make their travel booking through the designated travel agent. The travel agent will search for a flight to Copenhagen (or train) which meets your allocated travel amount (this may be the cheapest available flight which can be direct or indirect and, for train travel, may be at off peak times to minimise costs). If you are travelling by air, please note that travel between your home and your local airport and between Copenhagen airport and the venue, cannot be funded as part of the travel support for the award due to the conditions of the funding given to ESPID for the award scheme. You will need to cover these costs yourself. Please note that once a flight/train ticket is booked, changes cannot be made to the booking. Travel bookings made on your own will not be reimbursed.
