If you do not know a FEMS member of a FEMS Member Society please contact one of the organisers.

FEMS grantees have to pay their registration and will receive the grant in cash at the meeting site.

NB: FEMS grants cover registration fee and accomodation (in a shared double room*), but not travel.
*(otherwise they will have to pay the difference (100 €) themselves).

Please fill in the FEMS Application Form (pdf or Word) and send it with your curriculum vitae to: ismsm@itqb.unl.pt
before the 21st November 2008.

(kindly upload your Abstract through the online registration and tick the box asking if you have applied for a FEMS grant)

Applications after this date cannot be considered. In the subject of the e-mail message write “FEMS application your name”.
