Travel Awards

With generous contributions from our valued sponsors that became recently evident, travel awards are now available to students and early-career researchers to support their participation at the ESPN2025.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Students - Must be currently undertaking studies towards an appropriate qualification (BSc, MSc, PhD) in a poultry discipline relevant to the conference themes.
• Early Career Researchers (under 35 years) - Must have received an appropriate qualification in a relevant field (MSc/PhD/Post-Doc) within the last five years or been appointed to a new faculty position in academia or  a research institute within the last three years.
• Applicants must have already submitted an abstract or are planning to submit a late-breaking abstract to present their research at ESPN2025.
• Applicants must write a personal statement (400 words maximum) outlining motivations for attending ESPN2025, estimation of travel distance and costs, and identification of other funding sources available.
• Applicants must include a letter of recommendation from their supervisor (students) or head of the department (early career researchers)

The number of available travel awards may increase as additional sponsors are confirmed. However, if the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of available travel awards, the following criteria may be used to identify recipients:

• Students versus early-career researchers
• Primary authors versus co-authors of accepted abstracts
• Demonstration of need in the personal statement (e.g., travel distance, costs, other funding)
• Geographical location

The deadline for applications is May 20, 2025, and submissions should be sent via email to helpdesk@klinkhamergroup.com
