Research funding for PhD symposia
The Austrian Society of Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI) annually awards four grants of € 500 each to support the invitation of speakers from the fields within the framework of immunological and allergological PhD symposia.
Sponsorship from the ÖGAI must be applied for by the young scientists (doctoral or PhD students) on their own initiative. The informal application should clearly describe the scientific program of the event and list the necessary travel expenses for the speaker. A prerequisite for a successful decision is that the applicant is enrolled in a PhD program at an Austrian university, but is not involved in a doctoral college (DK) or a special research area (SFB). Furthermore, the applicant must be a member of the ÖGAI. The grant is solely for the purpose of inviting speakers and therefore may not be used for any other purpose. The aim of this funding should be to enable committed young scientists to discuss with invited specialists in their fields during the symposia.
In order to make the support of the ÖGAI visible, the logo of the ÖGAI must be printed in the abstract book/program booklet of the supported PhD symposium. Applications with the detailed description of the symposium should be sent by the students in electronic form as a summarized pdf document to the secretariat of the ÖGAI(office@oegai.org). The review of the applications is carried out by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Applications can be submitted on an ongoing basis.
