Introduction

Travel grants are available for attendance of the annual congress if the applicant has submitted a high quality abstract.

Travel grants are awarded to delegates younger than 40 years; half of travel grants will be assigned to the best abstracts, half to the best abstracts coming from developing countries (all countries below the "high income" category of GNI per capita US$12,276 as defined in the World Bank website classifications). Delegates are not eligible to receive an ESPE travel grant if they have accepted any support from pharma companies toward travel and accommodation.

The application details for 2012 are as follows:

• Travel grants are intended to support the participation of junior delegates such as fellows in training, post-docs and PhD students.
